indebted for much of the material, these pages 

are dedicated as fulfilling her loyal thought and 

desire of years.

Love and desire and hate,

ERRATA. 



There are several names that were unintentionally omitted in the 
proper places, but have been numbered in such a way as to indicate their 
positions in their respective families. 



EXPLANATION OF ABBREVIATIONS. 

b — born, m — married, d — died. 

In tracing the generations we have adopted the simple plan of be- 
ginning with Hugh Stewart, the earliest family name of which we have 
knowledge, calling him Hugh 1 (first generation). Each child of his is, 
in turn, following name, 2 (2nd generation) ; each grandchild, 3 (3rd gen- 
eration) ; each great grandchild 4 (4th generation) ; each great great 
grandchild is 5 (5th generation), etc. This is the key that will enable 
anyone quickly to trace each person without trouble, but be sure to 
get it fixed in your mind, at the start.

The Fesse represents the belt of honor worn by a knight. It was 
first granted cheguy Ar., and Az., to the Stewart family of Scotland, and 
symbolized by its colors, Peace and Sincerity, Truth aiid Loyalty, and by 
its square figures. Verity, Constancy, Equity and "the square "deal." 

The Rend represents the scarf of honor worn by a knight to support 
his sword. Being engrailed shows that a grant of land was given at some 
time for service. The Tressure is an emblem of Protection and Preserva- 
tion. The Pelican feeding her young is emblematical of the duties of a 
parent. This symbol has often been used by the church as the emblem 
of devoted and self-sacrificing charity.

over from Glasgow 1745 to 1750— (1915). 



INTRODUCTION 



The effort to rescue from oblivion the family history 
of this special line of the Stewarts, (or as some of the 
family have spelled it, "Stuart,") begun in 1^93-95, anf l was ror 
several reasons, discontinued by the compilers who are now in 
1912 undertaking it again. 

The usual difficulties had been encountered, of not obtaining 
the desired information from those not especially interested, 
letters, many of them, being unanswered and often when re- 
ceived, not giving full data of births, marriages and deaths; 
so if any family, or member of a family, is not fully represented, 
it is largely due to that family itself. It has been a wearisome 
labor, but one of interest and devotion, to the wish to rescue 
what we have of the records of a family that has been worth- 
while, in their niche, in the structure of our country, — "Such an 
interesting family", exclaimed one young descendant. It is not 
easy to trace early American families at the best, and the com- 
pilers of this record came upon a stone wall beyond the date of 
Hugh's (1) birth, and the fact that he did have a father who 
came to America, except traditions. Even Hugh's birth, given 
at Philadelphia, December 19th, 1757, may have been at some 
point near the mouth of the Schuylkill River. Chambersburg, 
Pa., insistently re-appears, and at some time may have been the 
home of our first ancestors, and the "wolf story", though tra- 
dition, after the "quarrel" sent them southward, toward Balti- 
more. This tradition says that one Robert lies buried there. 

After sifting and comparing, the compilers, with limited 
time and opportunity, gave their best efforts to the "clan", be- 
lieving that a more personal search of records, old deeds, etc., 
would unravel much that is now unaccounted for, hoping that 
someone of the younger generation, with this for a foundation, 
will be interested enough to devote time and means to a more 
developed record, especially of the early line and the scattered 
younger generations. 

"For so the ark be borne to Zion, who 
Heeds how they perished or were paid that bore it? 
For so the shrine abide, what shame — what pride 
If we the priests were bound or crowned before it?"

Introduction. 

It has been suggested from a similarity of names and dates 
and the exile into Ireland soon after 1665, that a family con- 
nection may be traceable from John Stewart, Glasgow, Scotland, 
as Robert, his son, born 1665, at Glasgow, and died in Ireland, 
1730, had three sons, Samuel, Robert and Hugh. That Samuel 
and Hugh came to America, and Samuel settled at Chestnut 
Level, Pa., and Hugh, at Peshtauk. These repeated family 
names, with that of Robert, lead the compilers of this record 
to urge any Stuarts, Stewarts, Stewards, or Stuards who may 
have corroborating data, to communicate with the compilers, that 
the mystery behind the stone wall of 1757, (Hugh's birth,) may 
be solved. — See Dr. Hugh C. Stewart's letter. 

This record taken from a venerable book owned by James 
Finney Stewart, of a Stewart line, is as follows : 

"It is a genealogical record, tracing them back to the an- 
cestor from which sprang the royal house of Stewart, and that 
long line of kings and queens, ending in Edward VII King of 
England. History says that Alan, son of Flahald, a Norman, 
accompanied the Conqueror into England, A. D. 1066, obtain- 
ing by his gifts, the land and castle of Owestry in Shropshire. 
Alan's eldest son William is ancestor of the Duke of Norfolk. 
Alan's second son, Walter, passed into Scotland, entered the 
service of David I as his Steward, and received from him large 
possessions, and the title of Baron of Renfrew, which is one of 
the titles inherited by King Edward VII. 

"The office of Steward became hereditary in the family, 
and was assumed by them as a surname, the Gaelic word mean- 
ing, the Lord High, or the High Lord, or the Lord next to the 
King in power. The orthography of the name was changed, by 
Mary, Queen of Scots, when she returned from France, 
turning up her pretty nose at everything Scotch, and introduc- 
ing French manners and customs. She used the French spelling 
to which she had been accustomed. The French alphabet had 
no W in it. This spelling was adopted by many clansmen, es- 
pecially those who adhered to the Church of Rome. 

"For seven generations, the Stewardship of Scotland de- 
scended without a break from father to son. Walter, the sixth 
Steward, married Marjory, daughter of Robert Bruce, and their 
son, the seventh Steward of Scotland, ascended the throne on 
the death of David II, taking the title of Robert II and by mar- 



Introduction. ix 

riage or descent, we find his descendants on nearly every throne 
of Europe. In the seventeenth century, a Scotch Covenanter, 

John Stewart, fled from Scotland to County Down, [reland, to 
escape penalties incurred for non-compliance with Royal edicts 
respecting" religions worship. I lis two grandsons, Samuel and 
Hugh, came to America, and settled in the Lancaster Province 
of Pennsylvania. Samuel's first son, Elijah, died in 1807. and 
his widow, with seven children, moved to Ohio with her family."' 

EXTRACT FROM LETTER WRITTEN BY ESTHER STEWART 

HUNT. 1893. 

"Speaking of great grand father Hugh's brother, my grand- 
father (Rohert), used to while away a little time, when I could 
stop a minute, in those last years when he was under my father's 
roof, to talk ahout old times ; and one thing he told me. was this : 
That his father, (Hugh,) had a hrother in England, who had 
four sons, all of whom held positions under the Crown. One 
was Purser in the Navy, the rest, I can not now remember. When 
they would get letters telling his father. (Hugh.) to come on and 
secure good places for his boys, his mother (Margaret) would 
become perfectly iurious. 'Nothing 1 ', grandfather would say 
'ever roused the "Scotch" in her so much.' .Then he would tell 
of the Stewarts being Catholics, and the name under the ban, 
until legitimatized at Rome, and say: 'When you read history 
you will know', not thinking that he knew the records, and I did 
not. 

"Hugh (0 Stewart held a great bitterness toward the Stuart 
kings, and repeatedly said, 'If I thought a drop of the blood of 
those cruel and idiotic Stuart Kings, was left in my veins. I 
would open a vein and spill it on the ground.' 

"Rather mixed statements have existed in the family in re- 
gard to the change, at some time, in the spelling of the name. 
Since this record was nearing completion we have learned from 
a resident of Washington, D. C, that Hugh Stewart changed 
the spellling of the name after his enlistment, and marriage, from 
Stewart to Steward, as it was under this name he owned slaves, 
by the census report of 1700, at Hagerstown, Md., and the 
tradition that gt. grandmother and gt. uncle George changed the 
spelling is accurate, as gt. grandmother could never 'abide' the 
'Steward' form, so, before going to Ohio resumed the form of 



x Introduction. 

spelling, as the legal one, used at his enlistment and marriage. 
Gt. uncle George, who must have known more than any one 
else of the change made, took the original form of Stuart and 
always retained it. Others in the family used it, but probably 
for legal reasons, finally, kept the form Stewart. It is said that 
two Hugh Stewarts in the Revolutionary War, were great friends, 
and agreed to take the old Anglo Saxon form of Steward and 
gt. grandfather may have been one of these. 

"In spite of this love of name however, he called his 
older children together about the time they left Hagerstown,. 
some have it later, and showed them an iron casket containing 
records of the family lineage very far back, and gained their 
youthful and inexperienced consent, to their concealment or 
destruction. If this family could, however, trace a title clear 
back to Robert Bruce, from whom all the Roberts gained their 
name, they would have no more reason for pride, than they now 
have, in a race that has furnished distinguished men and women 
to the ministry, the mission field, law. medicine, art, engineering, 
literature, and the home; a large part of them sustaining, in every 
community in which they reside, their share of all advancement; 
hence the character and noble lives of his children and descend- 
ants speak better for Hugh (i) than any other record." 

LETTER FROM DR. HUGH C. STEWART, OF BLOOMIXG- 

BURGH, OHIO. 

Written about 1883 or 1884, to Archibald Stuart Dunlap, M. D., Chatta- 
nooga, Tenn., son of Archibald, eighth child of Hugh 
and Margaret. 

Note. — My father leaving home at a very early age, and never re- 
turning, could have had only oral traditions, and childhood impressions, 
and as in some dates and facts they differ from the data from other 
branches of the family, I have done the justice to make the record con- 
form more nearly to known facts and dates.

Introduction. xi 

LETTER OF DR. II. C. STEWAR I 

"Our grandfather Stuart, or Stewart, who was probably the 
grandson of the Scotch Covenanter who was driven into the north 
of Ireland, and given a large extent of territory, and who, one 
tradition says, married into the family of the 'Lords of the Isles'; 
by which marriage there was a large family, some of whom were 
recalled to Scotland, and given high honors. Sifting and explain- 
ing traditions, this would account for that one, of the many- 
times, gt. grandmother, who, with an infant in her arms, was one 
of those driven into exile ; weary and exhausted, fell by the way- 
side, and was left by the brutal soldiery to perish, but with the 
pluck and courage of her ancestry, crept under the shelter of 
a hay-rick and rested that night, rejoining the exiled clans- 
men before reaching the border. Whether the founder of the 
family was one of those who returned to Scotland, and hence 
emigrated to America in 1745-47, for espousing the cause of 
Charles Edward, the Cavalier, or young Pretender, or for the 
same cause was pronounced a 'malignant, and dangerous to the 
Crown', was compelled to come to America, would account for a 
tradition of a strain of Irish hlood among the forbears. Our 
first ancestor, name unknown, whether of Scotch or Scotch-Irish, 
lineage, married a Scotch lassie, name and date unknown, and emi- 
grated to America, settled at Philadelphia, or near there, and 
owned land and extensive stone quarries at the mouth of the 
Schuylkill River. He made contracts for building houses in 
Philadelphia, superintended quarrying and loading stone on 
scows, and floating them down that river to the Delaware, and 
up to Philadelphia. Our Father, Hugh (1) supervised the con- 
tracts for walls and buildings, in many of the old structures in 
that city. He was one of the City Guards, the medium in those 
days to national enlistment, during the Revolutionary War, but 
secured a discharge at the time of his marriage to Margaret 
Roxburgh Smith, and moved to what was called the back part 
of Pennsylvania, and shortly afterward went to Md., and settled, 
on the land of Gen'l. Spregg." 

It was soon after his marriage, one year being spent in 
Carlisle, (or possibly Greencastle), when he contracted for the 
building of a large manor house on General Samuel Ring- 
gold's land, which contained some 13,000 acres occupied by ten- 



xii Introduction. 

antry. The mansion which father as superintendent, built, was 
one hundred feet long with two wings running back making the 
whole length three hundred feet. At this time Gen. Ringgold, be- 
ing British and a Tory, and becoming encumbered with debts, re- 
turned to England, and father being one of the largest debtors 
remained there in care of the estate, intending to purchase. 
About this time, 1786 or 1790, having settled among slave own- 
ers, to keep peace in the community, he purchased several slaves, 
but the family, especially my mother, did not like the system, 
considering it demoralizing, and in a short time he manumitted 
them and employed free negroes, which caused great animosity 
among the people, and the slave traders, who once more were 
plying their nefarious trade in the Cheseapeake Bay- During 
these years at Ringgold Manor, father amassed considerable 
money, and had determined to purchase it, but the slave trouble 
caused him to consider locating in a free State, so, after a tur- 
bulent time with the slave traders, he removed to Greencastle, 
Pa., (1798 to 1802). 

"A statement in the family says he was obliged on account 
of the law making the owner responsible for the crimes of freed 
slaves, to take them with him into a free state. Here he es- 
tablished, at that date, (about 1802, ) a merchantile business, which 
he left under the capable direction of his wife Margaret (1) 
and his two eldest children, George and Elizabeth, while he 
continued contracting until their removal to Ohio. 

"In 1804, as I have been told, he went with his son-in-law, 
Thomas Fullerton, to Ohio, where he purchased several thou- 
sand acres of land of the 'Lucas Survey', in Ross County, at- 
tracted there by the Sutherlands, half brothers of his wife and 
30ns of Elizabeth Roxburgh Smith, who had married Daniel 
Sutherland, about 1768, and moved to Ohio, dying in 1788. This 
.and was on the north Fork of Paint Creek, opposite old Chil- 
'icothe, now called Frankfort, it being formerly an Indian town. 

"The land was leased to tenants and in a year or two the 
rent-corn amounted to many thousand bushels, so by 1807 corn 
.vas very plentiful, and -eery low in price, but whiskey was very 
high and scarce, so Father thought to send James with two fine 
.arge copper stills, for the purpose of converting the corn into 
.vhiskey. In 1807 James left Greencastle, Pa., well provided 
with clothing, books and household effects, accompanied by a 



Introduction. xiii 

young couple, he, to distill, and she, to keep house. < m the 4U1 
day of December they arrived at the place above named, and com- 
menced the diabolical work of distilling liquid damnation, con- 
sidered a very legitimate business for money-making, at that day 
as it still is in this." 

"On the 9th day of Feb. [809, father, together with his 
family, arrived at our new home and found uncle Robert Suther- 
land, who was already in Ohio, awaiting our coming, and wishing 
to please the youngsters who would be hungry, had prepared a 
large ash-cake, baked in one of the still furnaces. 7 ' 

So far as we have been able to judge, Margaret Roxburgh 
Smith was cut off equally from her family, from this time, except 
her mother in Ohio, and "Aunt Betsy" — Lady Dalrymple. 



AN APPRECIATION 



In closing my work on this record, simple justice impels me 
to say to the good people who will read this book, that, more than 
to anyone, they are indebted for it, to Emma Stewart Lyman, 
who has never faltered in her purpose to see it completed ; having 
for over two years, given to it in unstinted measure, of time, 
thought, and means. Pure in purpose, indomitable in will, ab- 
solutely refusing to be discouraged though heavily handicapped, 
she has steadily worked on, full of enthusiasm and hope, de- 
termined to see these records put into shape to be useful to 
those, who in a few years more, could not find a link to bind 
them to their "forbears", and the remote past. 

Every one who reads this volume, and prizes it as he should, 
ought to breathe a prayer of thanks, that one so capable, patient, 
and painstaking should have turned aside in her busy life, to write 
for the generations to come, of the good men and women who 
have helped to make the world better. 

"To die generation knocking at the door — 
Break — break it open; let the knocker rust; 
Consider no "shalt not" nor no man's must; 
And, being entered, promptly take the lead, 
Setting aside tradition, custom, creed; 
Nor watch the balance of the hucksters beam ; 
Declare your hardest thought, your proudest dream. 
Await no summons; laugh at all rebuff; 
High hearts and you are destiny enough. 
The mystery and power enshrined in you 
Are old as time, and as the moment new; 
And none but you can tell what part you play, 
Nor can you tell until you make assay; 
For this alone, this always will succeed, 
The miracle and magic of the deed." 

Fannie Stewart White.

2 Hugh and Margaret (Stewart.) 

"Elizabeth Roxburgh, (aunt Betsy,) dau. of Adam and 
Margaret Roxburgh, and aunt of Margaret Roxburgh (Smith) 
Stewart, was the one who was captured at sea, during the Revo- 
lutionary War, and taken to England, where she was com- 
pelled to do nursing in Chelsea Hospital, London, and there she 
met Sir Hew or Hugh Dalrymple, who fell in love with, and 
married her. A miniature painted on ivory of this beautiful 
woman, is now in possession of Florence Stewart Ustick, of 
Washington, C. H., Ohio, who received it from her aunt, Mary 
Elizabeth Ustick, who in turn received it from Mary Stewart 
Ustick, her mother, who doubtless received it from her mother. 
Margaret Roxburgh (Smith) Stewart, niece of Elizabeth 
Dalrymple." 

All trace of this branch is lost. 

Note : — Elizabeth Dalrymple was daughter of Elizabeth Roxburgh 
and sister to Margaret Roxburgh (Smith) Stewart. 

Adam Roxburgh and his sister Elizabeth may have been born 
in Scotland, since their accent was very pronounced. There is a 
statement that Elizabeth Roxburgh-Smith, when she remarried, 
left at once for Ohio. We may then infer that Elizabeth, (Lady 
Dalrymple,) and her sister Margaret remained in Philadelphia 
with their Roxburgh relatives, since that is where both married. 
A tradition tells that Elizabeth first married a British officer 
by the name of Whyte, of Scotch descent, and went to England, 
where he was hunting on the estate of the Marquis of Townsend, 
and was shot by the Marquis by accident, and Elizabeth returned 
to Philadelphia, and near the close of the Revolutionary War, 
the event of her capture occurred and her subsequent marriage 
to Lord Dalrymple.

EXTRACT FROM LETTER 1893, ESTHER STEWART HUNT. 
"Hugh Stewart, our first known ancestor, parted in such a 
violent quarrel from his father, that he was never known to 



Hugh and Margaret (Stewart.) 3 

speak his father's name, nor mention a brother or sister. Even 
that of the brother writing from England, being secreted. Two 
possible reasons have been assigned for this: one, the second mar- 
riage of his father; hut as this need not have torn him asunder 
from brothers and sisters, the more probable one was bis own 
marriage into the Roxburgh family, and the deadly hatred of the 
Stuart and Roxburgh clans in feudal warfare, on Scotland's 
border, as a result of 'lifting' each other's cattle. That his 
marriage to Margaret, whose mother was Elizabeth Roxburgh, 
Sept. 16, 1780, was of serious moment enough to secure a dis- 
charge from George Washington at this dark and discouraging 
year of the war, and the instant leaving of the city, is an unex- 
plained circumstance, save as "a malignant and dangerous to the 
crown," and to avoid family disagreement. 

"While a mere boy he had espoused the cause of Liberty, 
joining as a private, Capt. Richard Barrett's Company, of major 
Nicholas' City Guards. What a wedding journey that must have 
been ! when, as the custom was, in those days, he placed his 
young wife Margaret on a horse with their possessions, and 
walked by her side to Carlisle, Pa., where they began life in a 
small house, because, when they wanted to make secure the 
eight hundred pounds of their wealth, she lifted the puncheon 
floor and put the money under. Here it was, too, that she ripped 
gt. grandfather's Sunday trousers, cut out a new pair with 
sheep shears, and then made both. Every young wife in those 
days wore a cap, so with the same shears, (the war had made 
scissors unattainable,) she cut out her cap, made it, and ironed 
it with a trowel. 

"They stayed at Carlisle for about a year, and hearing that 
llagerstown was a thriving place, the puncheon floor came up, 
and taking their hoardings, they moved there. I have heard 
this told many times by the aunts when visiting at the old home 
on the hill, with other stories which I wish 1 had written down. 

"The Stewarts were landed people always, and their first 
act, wherever they located, was to invest in large tracts of land. 
Hugh's father is said by Thomas Fullerton, to have done this at 
the mouth of the Schuylkill River, which included stone quarries, 
and Hugh himself became possessed of land at Ringgold Manor, 
Hagerstown, Md., with the stone quarries there, from which 
were built many of the old stone buildings; and when driven from 



4 Hugh and Margaret (Stewart.) 

there by political strife, his sons, James and Robert, were sent 
ahead in 1807 to Ohio, and purchased several thousand acres of 
land in Fayette and Ross counties, which he bequeathed in his 
will to his children." 

EXTRACT FROM LETTER 1894. ESTHER STEWART HUNT. 

Note : — From the dates of births, Hugh Stewart left Hagerstown 
between 1798 and 1802 and went to Greencastle, Pa., where the two 
younger children, Mary and Hugh, Jr., were born. (Some members of 
the family say Chambersburg, Pa., but that seems to have been an earlier 
date.)— F. S. W. and E. S. L. 

"He must have gone to Ohio about 1809 as he sent his 
sons James and Robert to buy land there in 1807. On 'Alt. Pleas- 
ant", called also 'Prairie View', great grandfather built the man- 
sion mentioned in the will which he often spoke of, as 'Castle', 
saying it was modeled after the Castle of Bonkyl, in Scotland, a 
Stuart possession. This was built entirely of huge hewn timbers, 
squared and used as panels, mortised in, and hand rubbed. The 
hall which was finished in walnut ran to the attic floor without 
break, with a broad stairway and balustrades of the same ma- 
terial, down which the children used to romp. While always a 
dominant disposition, here it seemed, he became a 'peace-parted ? 
soul. What a picture it was of baby Hugh, only six, leaving 
his mother, to ride with his brother, Robert, six hundred miles 
on horseback. (In 1812.) Was it for an education alone or to 
take him away from a mind-disturbed father?" 

'"Note: — Undoubtedly an education, for as he, Hugh, Jr., rode away 
his father said, T have made a scholar of George; I will make a gentle- 
man of Hugh'. This is explained by those sections of the will, made when 
Hugh, Jr., was but seventeen, when his father evidently desired by an 
estate to make him a 'gentleman'. The old world passion for this posses- 
sion of land for himself and descendants, to create a name and family, no 
doubt was in his thought and plan. At this date we have no way of know- 
ing why the plan miscarried, by Hugh, Jr., choosing his own career, or 
the passing by sale of the old home estate to another son, ere Hugh, Sr., 
died. 

"I do not think Hugh, Jr., came back until he was grown, 
and then to Bloomingburgh, and not the old home. And yet, 
his father, we have evidence, was 'a king' to his children' ; but 
gt. aunt Mary Ustick must have had very good reason 
for taking gt. grand-mother h^me with her. There must 



Hugh and Margaret (Stewart.) 5 

have been a terrible trouble behind, more than the 'sideboard' 
caused, or the terrific temper could account for. Was the cause 
back of 1776 or 1780, in the parting from his family, or did it 
date from the exodus from Ringgold Manor? What conscience, 
what regret, (we will not say remorse,) what compunctions 
stirred the memory of the turbulent, but withal great, old Scotch- 
man, that drove wife and children from his door, leaving him to 
desolate living, and to finally die from the exercise of his famed 
temper. 

"Since we must acknowledge this temper, his descendants 
accept that it was distinctive, and a royally hue one, and if his 
father had a better, no wonder they parted ! Cousin Robert 
Ustick asked me if I knew what the mystery of it was. He knew 
gt. grandfather kept his 'sideboard,' so he must have guessed 
of some other ill fate. His will, made two years before his 
death, is so fair, so just, we know there must have been a large 
manhood within him, though incapable of repose, a breeder of 
storms, taciturn of results, intolerant of opposition to those who 
crossed him, he lived until his death unshaken in purpose to bear 
this torment in silence to the end. 

"Grandfather Robert always hushed in thought as well as in 
words, when he would speak of him, and that epitaph of an un- 
finished finality, that was carved upon his tombstone, expressed 
some condition of life unanswered. 

'God is his own interpreter. 
And he will make it plain.' " 

.Vote: — If gt. grandmother knew, she was just as reticent, and 
seemed equally separated from the Roxburgh line. 

A TRIBUTE TO GT. GRANDMOTHER. 

"Grand-mother Patton gives tribute to gt. grand-mother of 
the Roxburgh strain, whom she admired, and said that she was a 
remarkable woman for her youthful looks and gait, rather small, 
but walked like a girl of sixteen, and you would never have 
guessed she was eighty years old if you did not see her face, 
bright and alert, with snapping black eyes. The family were 
very proud of gt. grand-mother, but with her great business 
ability and independent ways, she was perhaps too thorough- 

Xote : — In that day whiskey with a pitcher of water and bowl of 
sugar was placed on the side-board and offered to any chance comer.

going for them. So gt. grand- father, even with his doubtful 
disposition, may have been the greater favorite. Step grand- 
mother rather blamed st. aunt Mary Ustick for not allowing her 
to have something to do. It nearly killed her to be idle. After 
she was confined to her bed, some one furnished her shirts to 
make, which she did, tucking them out of aunt Mary's sight' 
but she finished the six shirts with hem-stitched ruffles. She 
was Scotch throughout, and talked with a strong Scotch accent. 
It is told of her business ability and power to command, that 
the dairy product of Ringgold Manor was sent to Hagerstown. 
A law had just been passed that any roll of butter short in weight 
would confiscate it all. So at the market they weighed one 
pound, and claiming it was short, took the whole. She imme- 
diately got into a chaise, and going to the market, required the re- 
weighing of all the butter, saying, 'The law works both ways.' 
They never questioned the Manor products again. No wonder 
gt. grand-father always had entire confidence in her business 
ability. 

"Margaret Roxburgh Stewart was buried at Bloomingburgh, 
Ohio, in 1842, and on her tombstone is the inscription 'A Moth- 
er's Grave.' " 

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM. REV. THOMAS FULLERTON, 
LANE SEM., CINCINNATI, OHIO, 

written about 1896, to Fanny Stewart White. 

" But too much about ourselves and nothing, as yet, 

of the far more important, yourself. We thoroughly enjoyed 
your letter; it was so Fanny Stuartish. Your account of your 
pets took me back to the days of the cats, birds, squirrels, etc., 
and other small and less intelligent creatures, almost without 
number. 

"As to the horses, I know little of them since my faithful 
"McClellan," a much better soldier than was the general after 
whom he was named, fell in the bleak woods of Chickamauga, 
and I have taken little interest in horses since. My heart goes 
out to dogs, and in a rather slight measure, to cats, but I regard 
the horse in general, as an animal which gets more honor than 
his wits deserve, simply because of his beauty; a sort of ball- 
room belle among the lower animals. 



Hugh and Margaret (Stewart.) 7 

"This is no doubt rank heresy to you and Dr. White, but I 
do not govern my belief — my belief governs me. I am nol 
heterodox, even with regard to horses, with malice aforethought, 
and in matters in general, 1 follow the good old paths with con- 
tent. They were rougher to our fathers than to us; yet they re- 
joiced to go to heaven on those rugged ways. 

"Now for a little talk about family pedigree: I have 
about given up hope of getting farther back along the Stuart line 
than Hugh Stuart's Phila. father. The breach between parent 
and child seems to have been complete. Both were hot tempered. 
( )n account of this quarrel and separation, Thomas Fullerton's 
people opposed his marriage to Elizabeth Stuart. Even though, 
according to her grand father, when he threw a quarry stick at 
a workman, 'she was one of the Stuarts of Scotland.' The 
irascible old gentleman thought that a sufficient excuse for run- 
ning the risk of killing a common workman." 

Note: — This is the only reference we have to the character of 
great-grandfather. — F. S. W. and E. S. L. 

"Your grand-father, my gt. grand-father, was an energetic, 
far-sighted and successful man. He was kind to his children, 
who were all prosperous for many years. He gave to my 
grand-mother Fullerton the fine farm which uncle George after- 
ward owned, six or eight miles from Bloomingburgh, up the 
Columbus road. That he drank at times is a fact. Few men did 
not do so in the days, when, as a woman said, 'A barrel of whiskey 
went a mighty little way with such a family of children as she 
had to bring up.' Grand-father Fullerton drank entirely too 
much for a sober man, but father had for him the most sincere 
reverence, as he had for his mother, the most devoted love. It 
was not the liquor so much as Hugh Stuart's high temper that 
made his wife, Margaret Roxburgh Smith, spend so much of 
her time with her children in, and near Bloomingburgh. At least 
that is what I have always understood, for I do not think you 
and I have the blood of drunkards in our veins, though we do 
have the blood of erring men, as well as of noble and saintly 
women ; but I shall never have done this letter, which I meant to 
be little more than a cousinly note. I wish that I could see you, 
dear Fanny, but probably we will not meet in this world. I 



8 Hugh and Margaret (Stewart.) 

hope that in the next, you will be as 'soncy' and sweet as you 
used to be. and I rather guess you will. 

"Yours faithfully, 

"Thomas Fullertox. 

"P. S. Do you know our gt. grandmother Stuart was 
rather hypochondriacal?" 



& j 



Note: — This is not surprising as the energetic wife of a high- 
tempered man, and mother of fourteen children. 

"She would go to bed in an alarming state of collapse, out 
of which she presently recovered. One Friday she had a very 
severe attack — it was in Bloomingburgh — the children gathered 
to see her die. On the Sunday following, she rode to Frankfort 
to see her husband die. If you have the dates of her birth and 
death, I wish that sometime you would send them to me, and I 
would like also to know where she came from. Can you tell me 
who it was in the Stuart family who was captured in the Rev. 
War, taken to England, compelled to nurse in Chelsea Hospital, 
nursed Sir Hew or Hugh Dalrymple, and married him? Father 
told this story once and your father told us the same story, with 
variations. I suppose that the girl must have been a sister* of 
Hugh Stuart. 

''She was taken at sea ; whether she was going to Xew York 
I do not know. Strange, the silences of history ! 

"And can you tell me who fought the hydrophobic wolf, and 
had herself bathed in a kettle of hot lye to kill the venom? I 
trust that no other lye or lie had crept into the story as father 
used to tell it. He always said that the brave woman was one of 
the Stuart connection. The scene was laid in western Pa. on 
the Allegheny slopes, time midnight, moonlight night, on porch 
of dwelling, husband away from home, wife and mother allow- 
ing the wolf to mangle her at its own will, but making no out- 
cry, for fear that her two daughters would come out and be 
bitten. A fine tradition ! Tell it to your pets and warn them 
not to go mad. 

*Note: — Possibly a sister of Hugh, Sr.. but probably gt. gt. grand- 
mother.

Item 12 : I will and bequeathe to the children of my daughter

LETTER FROM HUGH COULTER STEWART, 1893, 
CHAMPAIGN, ILL. 

"I do not distinctly reemember my grand-father Stewart 
(Hugh 1 ). He was rather tall and large boned, quite Scotch in 
build, more like uncle James. My father, (Robert), and myself 
had more the build of grandmother (Margaret). I shall never 
forget dear, good old grand-mother, for when my own dear, 
beautiful mother died, and I cried, 'I haven't any mother', she 
folded me in her arms and comforted me, saying she would be 
my mother. Uncle James was the largest. None were so fleshy 
and short as father. Uncle Archibald was thin and spare like 
brother George, and uncle George. I shall never forget uncle 
Archibald's rapid talk in politics or at prayer. I think he could 
say more in half a minute, than any man I ever heard. 

"On the death of Elizabeth Fullerton, her children were 
scattered among the relatives, and uncle Archie took Robert and 
reared him as his own son. Father, (Robert) was a Democrat; 
but the uncles were all 'Praying Whigs'. I have seen them pick 
up chairs in the family room after prayers, and you would think 
they would knock each other down. All the uncles would charge 
father with becoming a Democrat for office, I tell you he always 
held his own, and came out ahead; but in 1840, when Birney ran 
for President, the brothers all united in the old Liberty party, 
and ever after voted the same ticket, pointing to the end of 
slavery, although not being permitted to see the final victory. 

"I shall never forget father's final words to me on his 
death bed : 'I want you to go to the National Convention in 



12 Hugh and Margaret (Stewart.) 

Chicago, in June, as you will never have another opportunity to 
see such a gathering. Slavery is going down, whether in law- 
ful victory or in blood ; it is doomed, and must perish from this 
nation !' 

"So, like Moses viewing the Promised Land, he could see, 
but could not tarry to witness the triumph of his cherished 
principles. Uncle Hugh (Dr. H. C. Stewart) was permitted to 
see it all. I wonder if the brothers could talk it over on the other 
side, and know the results of the greatest war of modern times. 
I love our country for what it has done for the oppressed. 

"I hope you will come to our golden wedding in 1896. We 
expect to have a big time." 

Note: — This was not to be as his wife went to her rest before 
that date. ■ — E. S. L. 

EXTRACT FROM. LETTER FROM E. S. H. 

"One time, when gt. grand-father Hugh 1 thought he was 
going to die, he sent for his sons and gt. grand-mother and tak- 
ing them to the top of the hill, he showed them where he wished 
to be buried, as he described in his will. When his grave was 
dug between the two beautiful walnut trees, they unearthed the 
skeleton of a huge Quapaw Indian Chief, with his weapons be- 
side him. It was told that as the last shovel of earth was heaped 
on his grave, a great yellow cat sprang from aloft, on the mound 
of earth hissing and spitting, and scattering the mourners. The 
next morning every walnut leaf had fallen — a frost, — but to 
the superstitious it meant the curse of the old Indian's spirit. 

"I was born and lived for ten years in the old beautiful castle 
on the hill. I don't suppose you remember it, nor the old barn 
down on the low land. I wonder where they lived while they 
hewed and built those great panels into walls meant to stand 
*for centuries. The family who bought the place when the 
wreck came, proceeded at once to dig up the low part of the lovely 
lawn in front, which was reputed to be the burying place of the 
old Scotchman's money, and long looked at with jealous eyes. 

"Aiy father, (Samuel Stewart,) had refused to allow any 
one to touch it. On finding nothing, they tore down the old 
castle, panel by panel, searching in chinked walls, and looking in 
every cranny, but nothing was found, and disgusted, they sold 
to other people. 



Hugh and Margaret (Stewart.) l'-> 

"The old grave-yard was a lovely place for us children, 
and not at all gruesome. Father liked to have us go there, for 

the cattle gathered on hot afternoons and we could drive them 
away. The fence grand-father put up just before we came away 
spoiled its beauty. It was high and dry. and a lovely view. 
Thomas Fullerton says there are thirty graves: grand-mother 
Esther, with a lovely verse on her beautiful character, and little 
Robert with, "The Flower fadeth', on his tombstone; gt. grand- 
father between those tall walnut trees, with others grouped 
around; aunt Elizabeth Fullerton on his left, and eight of the 
little Fullertons all in a row, such a long one it seemed to me. 
1 think they had only births and deaths. How terrible it must 
have been to see so many of them die, one every month. 1 
learned to read on those old moss grown tombstones. I remem- 
ber asking, more than once, what it all meant. Grand-father had 
put up new ones, and black and roomy, the old were laid down 
for us to play 'Aunties' and keep house. The new ones were 
set in blocks of stone and broke off badly. The fence, Thomas 
Fullerton says, is down, and trees have fallen and broken the 
stones. I wonder how many of us ever think of the beauty and 
sacredness of the place, and that it is our duty to care for it. 
It would cost something to build a low stone wall and put up a 
tablet; but it would only be right."

Bloomingburgh, N. Y., (as no Presbyterian church was there,)

reader, he used, to keep Sunday visitors from liking to linger. 
Grand-father was a magistrate for many years and kindly en- 
forced the strict laws of the day. 

"Uncle Hugh Coulter Stewart of Champaign, 111., tells 
this story of his daughter Eliza George Stuart, who was reared 
by a maiden aunt in Baltimore, who married a Dr. Gibbon,, 
for whom Eliza's son was named. 'Cousin Eliza came to 
Ohio to visit her relatives in 1837. One of the very sweetest 
and loveliest girls I ever met, about 18 years of age. I think she 
spent a year among us, having just finished her education. Every 
one fell in love with her, George Fullerton among the rest. That 
was five years before gt. grand-mother died. When she was 
to start home from father's, (Robert's), with her trunk, to go 
by chaise, George (Dr. George Horton Stuart) was to. drive her 
as I was too young, and too poor a driver to trust over those 
hills. She was to be taken to Chillicothe, or on to Putnam. I 
was very angry, (being a boy of sixteen.) that George was pre- 
ferred before me. Father (Robert) came out and said, 'Coulter, 
do you want to ride part of the way?" I had been walking 
around the house to quiet my bad feelings, and aroused again, 
I exclaimed: 'No, Sir, I don't — all or none for me, Sir!' and 
I never saw her again.' Did any of the family ever visit her in 
her Baltimore home? I never heard gt. grand-father's name." 

Note : — First ancestor's name unknown. 

Did they all mean it should be forgotten on account of the 
quarrel ? 

Note : — George and Ann were both buried at Bloomingburgh, N. Y. r 
"over the Creek" as grand-father Robert wrote, of their burial place.

(Cogswell) Boies, of Athens, 
O. 

His father removed with his family to Baltimore, Md., in 
1812, and to Fayette Co., O., in 1815. He was converted in 
early life, largely under the influence of his mother, and feeling 
that he was called of God, entered the ministry of the gospel. 
He prepared for it by a limited course of instruction, owing to 
ill health, at Ohio Univ., at Athens, and under the theological 
tuition of Rev. Dr. Samuel Crothers, of Greenfield, O. He was 
ordained and installed at Union Church Ross Co., O., Jan. 1831. 
Two years later became pastor of the First Church at Chilli- 
cothe. At Athens he met the woman who later became his 
wife (the dau. of the Rev. Wm. and Caroline (Cogswell) Boies).* 

* "Rev. Wm. Boies from four generations of deacons and elders in 
New England churches, from a Huguenot minister, exiled from France 
by the revocation of the edict of Nantes, born 1773, Blansford, Mass., 
graduated Williams College 1801, settled at Tinmouth Church, Vermont, 
1804, then Waterford, Ohio, 1819, d. 1823. He is remembered as pre- 
eminently a 'son of consolation.' "

She was a true helper in Christ Jesus, to her husband, until he 
was suddenly taken home to heaven in the summer of '63, and 
survived him until her ninetieth year. His body was laid to rest 
in the cemetery at So. Salem, O., at the place where his pulpit 
had stood during most of his ministry in Salem Church, cover- 
ing a period of about twenty-six years, all but six of his service. 
The old church building had given place to a new one near by, 
built under his supervision. Her body lies in Fern Cliff Ceme- 
tery, Springfield, O., where at the time of her death she was 
residing with her two daughters. 

"Hugh Stuart Fullerton's parents, sprang from that tide of 
immigration which poured from Scotland, and the north of 
Ireland, into Pennsylvania and Virginia during the last half of the 
eighteenth century, and he always spoke with pride that he was 
descended from those people who had done, and suffered, in 
religion and politics, for Christ and human freedom. Not long 
after his birth his parents removed to Carlisle, Pa., and thence 
to a farm in Orange County, New York. But a short time ago 
(1913) this home, an old quaint homestead, was visited by Car- 
rie Stewart Fullerton, said to be the oldest house left in that 
country. Though but seven years old when he left there, 
this delightful old home was indelibly stamped on his memory, 
with all the joy and delight of boyhood. An incident of his stay 
here was the origin of a life-long principle. A slave of his 
father's, (Thomas), a boy to whom Stuart was greatly attached, 
ran away. A day or two after, as the child on his way to school 
stopped to play by the side of the Wallkill, he heard the tramp 
of horses' feet on the bridge above him, and looking up saw his 
father riding by, with poor Tom, the slave, tied by the wrist to 
his stirrup. The dejected look of the man, and his position made 
such an impression on the child's mind, that from that moment 
dated an unyielding opposition to slavery in every form. In 
1812 came the Baltimore removal, and later, 1815, to what was 
then the far west, Ohio. The home, humble though it was, was 
so aristocratic as to be known for miles around as "the house 
with the glass window." Hugh Stuart Fullerton's life was one 
of assiduous care, and when the "fever years" of 1824, '25. and 
'26 called his loved mother and six brothers and sisters, to their 
graves, not till then was he able to fulfill the life long wish of 
his mother, and devote himself to the ministry. She was ever

a helpful teacher and sympathizer, a woman "of whom the 
world was not worthy". "To prudence, patience and industry 
and excellent judgment, she joined the most devoted piety." 
(From the Historical Presbyterian Almanac, 1864, by Jasper M. 
Wilson. There is much more in this rich volume, of great in- 
terest but space forbids further use.) 

A bit of rhyme among his papers expresses his love for 
Scotland : 

"There's mony a thing that mak's me cling 

To Scotland's hills o' heather; 

An' lights my e'e wi' thirlin joy 

When fancy takes me thither; 

In Auld Lang Syne, time out o' min' 

There a' my bluid was treasured ; 

An' forbears stern by mony a burn, 

Their sangs o' praises measured."

many business and other interests, which made him a man of 
wide acquaintance. Mis frank, cordial manner made him pop-

Emma Fullerton Salisbury from her thirteenth year was a 
devoted member of the church, and all her married life, spent 
mostly in Tolono, 111., was active in Christian work. For twenty- 
five years she was president of the Home and Foreign Mis- 
sionary Society of the Tolono Presbyterian church, and for years 
has been greatly interested in the work of a cousin, Mary Ful- 
lerton, in her missionary labors in India. 

Xo one was more willing to aid the suffering, cheer the 
despondent, sustain the weak, and to throw over the frailties of 
our race the mantle of Christian charity. 

For her noble woman-hood and numerous acts of kindness 
to her daily or casual associates, she was universally beloved, and 
the tears of the entire community were mingled together upon 
the sad news of her untimely taking away. She died from an 
operation at Presby. Hospital. Chicago, 111. She sleeps 'till the 
"Lord's appearing" in beautiful Mount Flope Cemetery at Cham- 
paign, 111.

Martha spent the best years of her life as a home mission-

missionary history, can appreciate the sacrifice in leaving home 
and friends, for a home on the frontier, as Iowa was in that 
day. She returned broken in health, to die among her kindred, 
and found kind hearts and loving hands to minister to her, even 
as she found the same, when left on orphan at a tender age.

Letter from Ida M. Fullerton, daughter of James Stewart 
and Elvira (Hobart) Fullerton of Martelle, Iowa. 

Of the earlier missionary life of my father I know little, 
Came to Iowa as early as 1846, and commenced his ministry 
at West Point, Lee Co. From 1849 to 1855, he had charge 
of churches at Marion and Linn Grove, but in 1858, on account 
of failing health, resigned from active church work. My mother 
cheerfully and heroically, endured the hardships of pioneer life 
which fell to her. and soon after coming to Marion, seeing her

husband's failing health, persuaded him to remove to a farm 
near Linn Grove, on account of their two sons who were quite 
young. Mere she took the greater share of the burdens of life 
upon herself, to shield her husband, (an invalid from spinal dis- 
ease), who gave his strength and time to the Master's work. 
Their lives were beautifully blended; his was one of faith and 
prayer, hers, in contrast, was not so much devoted to public 
prayer, as to good works and deeds. Only three Sabbaths be- 
fore his death, he assisted at ordinance of the Lord's supper, 
and gave earnest exhortation, to be faithful to the Master and 
his cause. While attending a meeting of Presbyter}, he con- 
tracted a severe cold resulting in bronchial pneumonia. He real- 
ized that his life's work was done and quietly fell asleep in 
Jesus. My mother after a long illness from which she knew 
she could not recover, passed away, rejoicing to "depart and be 
with Christ, which is far better."

SKETCH OF LIFE OF REV. ROBERT STEWART FULLERTON. 

Robert Stewart Fnllerton was born in Bloomingburgh, Fay- 
ette county, Ohio, November 23, 182 1. 

His father, Thomas Fullerton, a Baltimore merchant, was 
the third son of Humphrey Fullerton 3rd, who was born in 
Pequea, Lancaster county, Pa., about 1748, and died near Green- 
castle, Pa., in 1795. Humphrey Fullerton 3rd, owned large tracts 
oi land in Pennsylvania. He was a surveyor and helped to sur- 
vey the boundary line between Pennsylvania and New York. 
The Fullertons were country gentry in the early days. Humphrey 
3rd died leaving three sons and three daughters. His eldest son, 
Humphrey 4th inherited the homestead. Humphrey 3rd's grand- 
father (Humphrey 1st) fought at the battle of Boyne Water 
and received a sword from King W r illiam of Orange, which was 
handed down to each Humphrey Fullerton in the succeeding gen- 
erations, but which was unfortunately lost in the vicissitudes 
which later beset the family. Humphrey 1st sailed from Chester, 
England, for America in 1723 or 1725, and stopped in Philadel- 
phia for a time, but finally settled in Pequea, Lane county, Pa. 
His son, Humphrey 2nd, was six years old when he came to 
America, and lived until 1777 or 1778. The Fullertons were 
Covenanters in the early days. It is supposed that the family 
came originally from Corbie, in Picardy, France, and settled about 
ten miles from Ayr, Scotland, about 1085. There were Fuller- 
tons in Ireland as early as 1602. As the Fullertons were Cove- 
nanters, it is likely they went over to Ireland when James II was 
king of England. "Fullarton" is the name of the old estate near 
Ayr. The name in Scotland was spelled "Fullarton", in Ireland, 
"Fullerton." Whether the Fullertons of Ireland went there from

the Isle of Arran or from Ayrshire is not known certainly. On 
the Isle of Arran is an old estate "Kilmichael" which was 
granted to the Fullartons, hy Robert the Bruce, for services ren- 
dered him when his life was endangerd. 

Thomas Fullerton (the father of Rev. Rpbert Stewart Full- 
erton) being born wealthy, was better educated than most young 
gentlemen of his day. He had, however, no taste for business, 
and did not succeed in it. 

He married Elizabeth Stewart, March 3, 1801, in Green- 
castle, Penn. Failing in his business in Baltimore, he went to 
live on a farm in Ohio, given to his wife by her father. He had 
no practical knowledge of farming, and was not fitted to live in 
the woods. He opened an Academy in Bloomingburgh, Ohio, 
hoping to further the educational opportunities of that part of 
the country. As letters were not in demand in that day, in 
Ohio, this effort of his, also, proved unsuccessful. An epidemic 
of fever caused the death of his noble wife, and of several of his 
children. He soon after moved farther west, where he married 
a second time, and not long after, died. 

Thomas Fullerton's second wife was a Mrs. Fitzgerald, a 
widow (her maiden name some think was Williamson). His 
children by his first marriage were as follows :

Uncle Robert Stewart once said of our grandfather Thomas 
Fullerton, that he was the best conversationalist he had ever 
known. 

After the death of Elizabeth Stewart Fullerton, her children 
who were still living and not married, were scattered among the 
Stewart relatives. George lived with uncle Hugh Stewart. 

Martha lived with aunt Mary Stewart Ustick. 

Robert Stewart with uncle Arcihbald Stewart. 

Robert Stewart Fullerton remained with his uncle, Arch- 
ibald, until, for the purpose of completing his education, he went 
to college. He was graduated at the Ohio University in 1845 5 
and took his ministerial degree later at Allegheny Theological 
Seminary. 

A few words may be said concerning Robert Stewart Fuller- 
ton's mother — a very remarkable woman according to her ac- 
quaintances. Elizabeth Stewart's father, Hugh Stuart of Ha- 
gerstown, Md., left that place for Ohio in 1809, just as it was 
coming into statehood. He owned large tracts of land which he 
and Thomas Fullerton selected in 1804. ^Robert was a civil en- 
gineer, and laid out the town of Washington C. H. and other 
Ohio towns.) Hugh's eldest son, George Stuart, is said to have 
changed the orthography of the name from "Stuart" to "Stew- 
art" and was followed in this by other members of the family. 
The father — Hugh Stuart — never liked this. 

The old Stuart homestead in Maryland is still standing, and 
is called Ringgold Manor. Elizabeth Stuart was educated in Ha- 
gerstown, Md. The family records were destroyed, and hence 
the period at which they emigrated to this country, remains 
uncertain. 

Robert Stewart Fullerton married Martha White, the young- 
est daughter of Rev. Robert White (for over twenty years, — I

think twenty-seven, - r pastor of Foggs' Manor Presbyterian 
Church, Pennsylvania,) in 1850, and they immediately afterwards 
set sail for India as missionaries of the Presbyterian Board of 
Foreign Missions. They lived chiefly while in India, at Agra and 
Fatehgarh in the United Provinces of Agra and Ondh. 

During the Indian Mutiny of 1857 they were for ten months 
shut up in the Fort at Agra, which was fiercely besieged by the 
mutineers. Their three little daughters, Anna, Dora, and Mary, 
had been sent, with a friend, to the mountains (Landour, Hima- 
laya Mts.) before the breaking out of the mutiny, so were not 
with them in the Fort. A fourth daughter, Emma, was born in 
the fort during the siege. The mutineers were finally repulsed 
and the town remained in the hands of the British. 

As all the missionaries stationed at Fatehgarh had been 
killed, Mr. Fullerton, (who at that time was stationed at Agra,) 
was asked, after the mutiny, to reconstruct the work at Fateh- 
garh, Fnrrukhabad, (Fategarh is the European quarter, a 
suburb of Fnrrukhabad City). Before it was safe for the women 
and children to leave the Agra Fort, Mr. Fullerton went to the 
Fnrrukhabad district, and spent many months in gathering to- 
gether the scattered native Christians, — in order to re-organize 
the mission work. During much of that time his whereabouts 
were unknown to his family, nor did they even know that he was 
living. 

His long service in India without furlough, (fifteen years,) 
and the intense heat of the climate, broke his health. He was 
preparing to return to America with his family, for recuperation, 
when he died, October 4, 1865. 

He was of a cheerful, sunny disposition, and greatly beloved, 
not only by the people of the country, but by the English civ- 
ilians and officials with whom he came in contact. The Mission 
re-established by him at Fatehgarh and Furrukhabad, after the 
Mutiny, has continued since that time ; and is at present one of 
the largest mission stations of the American Presbyterian Board. 

His widow and six children, (four daughters and two sons,) 
returned to America after his death, and settled in Philadelphia, 
where Mrs. Fullerton educated her children. Very bravely did 
she take up this responsibility. Being a woman of culture and 
refinement, as well as of strong character, she sought to give her 
children every opportunity to fit themselves for the best things

in life. Having a very limited income, she taught for a time in 
a private school in Philadelphia, in order to carry out her pur- 
pose. * To her self-sacrifice and devotion her children owe all 
that they have been enabled to accomplish in their lives.

SKETCH OF LIFE OF DORA FULLERTON WALDO. 

Dora Fullerton was born in Agra, India, August 24, 1854. 
She was educated in Philadelphia Girls' High School ,and Nor- 
mal School, and taught for a little while in a private school in 
Philadelphia, before her marriage, on March 15, 1875 to Leonard 
Waldo, who was born May 4, 1853 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was 
graduated Harvard D. Sc. 1879; Yale A. M., 1880. Leonard 
Waldo is a son of Frederic Augustus Waldo, M. D., late of Cin- 
cinnati, O., (descended from Peter Waldo, founder of the sect 
of the Waldenses,) and his second wife, Frances Leonard. 
Leonard Waldo was, for some years, attached to the staff of the 
astronomical observatory at Cambridge, Mass., in charge of the 
railroad time service. In 1874 he was a member of the expedi- 
tion, which observed, in New Zealand, the transit of Venus, and 
in 1878 he went to Forth Worth, Texas, in a similar capacity, to 
observe the total eclipse of the sun. After leaving the service 
of Harvard University, Mr. Waldo was for several years con- 
nected with the astronomical Observatory of Yale University. 

After the death of his first wife, (Dora Fullerton,) he mar- 
ried Ada Louise Purdy, of New York, and has an office in New 
York, in which he practices as consulting engineer.

SKETCH OF LIFE OF MARY FULLERTON. 

Mary Fullerton was born in Agra, India, Jan. 26, 1856. 
When her mother took the children of the family back to Amer- 
ica (after the death of their father,) Mary was nearly ten years 
of age. 

Her mother settled in W. Philadelphia, Pa., where with her 
sisters Mary attended a Young Ladies' Academy conducted by 
her uncle, the Riev. John Moore, (a brother-in-law of her 
mother's). Upon his removal from the city, her education was 
continued in the Public Schools, and she was graduated from the 
Girls' High and Normal Schools of Phila. when seventeen years 
of age. After that, while teaching in a private school, she car- 
ried on her studies in music, the languages and sciences, under 
private tutors. On the 25th of Jan. 1877, she sailed for India 
in company with Mrs. J. L. Scott, to engage in the work of teach- 
ing in the Woodstock School, in Landour, on the Himalaya Mts., 
a school connected with the Foreign Missionary Board of the 
Presbyterian Church in America. Aften ten years of work in 
this school, she returned on furlough to America. Family cir- 
cumstances made it necessary to resign her connection with the 
Mission and kept her in the home land, until the death of her 
mother, in 1895, made it possible for her to return to India. 
She was stationed, for two years after her return, in Jhansi, 
United Provinces, and worked among the women and girls of 
that city, until an urgent call from the Girls' School in Allahabad, 
took her to that station for a year of service as Principal of the 
School. 

At the end of a year she went to Fatehgarh, the scene of 
the labor of her parents, after the Sepoy Rebellion in 1S57. Here 
she took charge of the work for Women and Girls in Furruk- 
habad City. She succeeded in establishing there a large Central 
School for Hindoo Girls, in 1901, which continues to be the 
leading school for girls in the city up to the present time. (1913). 

Since her last furlough to America, (taken in 1910,) she has 
given up active connection with the work in Fatehgarh and Fur- 
rukhabad, and is living with her sister Anna M. Fullerton in

SKETCH OF LIFE OF EMMA WHITE FULLERTON. 

Emma W "hite Fullerton was born in the fort at Agra during 
the Sepoy Rebellion. She had decided artistic ability, and pur- 
sued her art studies in several studios in America and Europe, 
in the Philadelphia School of Design, where she taught for a 
time, and in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Her 
early death prevented the realization of the artistic success which 
her friends anticipated for her.

SKETCH OF LIFE OF GEO. STUART FULLERTON. 

(From the History of the Class of 1879 — University of Penna., pub- 
lished in 1899.) 

George Stuart Fullerton, clergyman and professor, son of 
the Rev. Rob't. Stewart and Martha (White) Fullerton. was 
born in Fatehgarh, India, August 18th, 1859. He was graduated 
from the Department of Arts, University of Penna. (which he 
entered from the West Phila. Academy) in 1875; was graduated 
A. B. 1879, and A. M. 1882 and A. B. Yale 1883, and Ph. D. 
(honorary) Muhlenberg, 1892. He was Class Poet. After grad- 
uation he pursued post-graduate studies in theology and phil- 
osophy, Princeton, 1879, an d at Yale 1880-1883. He was licensed 
in the Presbyterian Church ; afterwards ordained into the min- 
istry of the Episcopal Church. In 1883 he returned to the Uni- 
versity of Penna., as Instructor in Philosophy and was subse- 
quently, 1885-1887, Adjunct Professor, and 1887 to date, Pro- 
fessor of Philosophy. From 1889-90 Dean of College, and 
Vice-Provost of the University of Pa. ; and 1896-98 Vice-Provost 
of the University. In his Annual Report 1898, the Provost says, 
"On assuming the office of Provost, and for the four years of my 
administration, 1 was greatly helped by the wise counsel and 
loyal assistance, of the Vice-Provost of my own nomination, the 
Rev. George S. Fullerton. I have all along been aware that in 
rendering this assistance in administration work, Professor Ful- 
lerton was making large sacrifice of the thought and strength 
which rightly belonged to his Chair and to the well-chosen life- 
work to which he is so adapted. I was therefore not surprised, al- 
though I deeply regretted it, when he tendered his resignation 
last March, and at the same time applied for long leave of 
absence for recuperation and refreshing study. His services as 
Vice Provost have been of great and enduring value to the 



44 Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 

University, and will be long remembered. We hope to welcome 
him back to the duties of his chair at the beginning of the next 
Academic year, invigorated and ripened by his sojourn abroad, 
and that, for many years to come, he may adorn the position 
which he seems to have logically inherited from his own great 
teacher, — some time also Vice Provost, the Rev. Dr. Krauth." 

He was, in 1896, President of the American Psychological 
Association. He is a member of the American Philosophical 
Society. He has published : Preliminary Report of the Seybert 
Commission on Spiritualism; The Conception of the Infinite; A 
Plain Argument for God ; On Sameness and Identity in Sensa- 
tion; The Philosophy of Spinoza; On the Perception of Small 
Differences, (with James McKeen Cattell,) beside numerous ar- 
ticles and addresses mostly on philosophical and educational top- 
ics, or in relation to the University of Pennsylvania. 

He married in Alexandria, Va., Jan. 26th, 1884, Rebekah 
Daingerfield Smith, who died May 5th, 1892; and in Phil. March 
8th, 1897, Julia Winslow Dickerson. He has no children.

Report of Lackawanna Presbytery : 

A suitable minute for record, was adopted on the life and 
work of the Rev. Edward Grier Fullerton, Ph. D., D. D., who 
was born in India July 14th, 1863, and died at Hartford. Conn., 
on July 5th, 191 1, after a brief but brilliant ministry, of twenty- 
two years. He was recogniced as one of the most versatile and 
scholarly men in the Presbytery. He was at home in almost 
every department of human knowledge. He breathed the at- 
mosphere of the great poets, and was thoroughly read on the 
varied literature and changing phases of Higher Criticism. His

pulpit, however, was his throne, and his sermons, delivered 
without notes, were prose poems, and secured a reverent and re- 
sponsive hearing, from a devoted people, in Wilkesbarre's First 
Church. 

In his pastoral work he was conscientiously diligent, and 
ministered to the sick and bereaved with utmost fidelity. 

As an after dinner speaker he had few peers, and his services 
were much sought after. 

He lived beloved, and died greatly lamented. 

COPY OF LETTER WRITTEN TO ESTHER STEWART HUNT 
BY ROBERT STEWART FULLERTON, 

Now in possession of her daughter, Ethel Hunt Tracy, San Diego, Cal- 
ifornia. Written 1863 or 1864. 

"My Dear Cousin Esther : 

"I received a nice long letter from you many months ago, 
and I rejoiced to hear of you, and through you, of all the dear 
Illinois friends, but I never think of you as living in 111. You 
are all at Concord, Ross Co., O., still. Dear me ! how strange it 
would seem for me to go back to that neighborhood, and find 
your grandfather's house occupied by strangers, and then to 
visit your old home and find that it too, has passed into the hands 
of aliens. But we live in a changing world. We have had four 
homes since coming to India. Mynpooree, Agra, Fatehgarh and 
Dehra. During this time we have passed through war, famine 
and pestilence, and seen many fall on our right and left. Oh ! 
that we may all live so that our last change may be the happiest 
of our lives ! Many thanks for your account of the last days of 
dear uncle Robert. What an open hearted, generous man, he 
was ; the world has few like, and could ill spare, him. 

1 shall never forget the kindness shown me by him and 
aunt Margaret while under their roof. What a dear, cheerful, 
happy home it was ! And the cousins were so fond of meeting 
there ! I remember the circumstances to which you refer, as 
though they had occurred but yesterday. If I could draw, I 
could give you a picture of the old school-house, the creek, the 
pawpaw bushes, the buckeyes and the large sycamores in the 
neighborhood. I remember what a diligent little pupil you were, 
and what pleasure it gave me to hear you recite. Those were 
happy days ! 



Genealogy of Hugh Stezvari and Descendants. 47 

By this, you must not infer 1 have seen none since. I have 
seen many here in India. Our outward circumstances have, I 
think, little to do with our happiness here. We were as happy in 
the Fort in Agra, while our home was lying in ruins, and our 
property destroyed by the Sepoys who sought our lives, as we 
were before, or ever since. 

You told me you were about to change your condition in 
life, but did not tell me who your intended is. I wish you had 
told me his name and more about him. If your marriage has 
taken place, may the blessing of Cod rest upon it, and give you 
both as much of this world's goods as is best for you to have. 

We removed to this place last January. I had been suffer- 
ing in my health for some time, and thought the change would 
do me good, and in this T have not been disappointed. I am 
much better than I was, but my disease is not removed. We 
live at the foot of the Himalaya Mountains in a valley called 
Doom It is one of the most beautiful plains I have ever seen. 
We are 2369 feet above the sea level and enjoying perpetual 
spring. How much I wish I could show you the place, for you 
would be delighted with it. 

Sugar, tea, coffee, are all produced in abundance in The 
Doon, and you can scarcely mention a fruit or flower which 
does not grow here. To mention even the names of the former 
would weary you. Here are a few of them: (apples do not do 
well,) peaches and pears, strawberries in abundance: (we have 
them every day for two and a half months,) raspberries, yellow 
and black, then come mulberries and cherries, mangoes, guavas, 
plantains, jack fruit, oranges, loquats, limes, lemons, paheles, 
figs, gages, plums, in many varieties, and other fruits too nu- 
merous to mention. 

The gardens about Debra are beautiful, both those belong- 
ing to Europeans, and to wealthy natives. The hedges are mostly 
of monthly roses. They bloom the year round. Just above us 
on the Mountains, are the stations of Landour and Mussoorie, a 
sanitarium for Europeans. Although it has two names it is 
really one place. 

Martha and the children have been there for some time, and 
although they are fourteen miles off, I can see the house they 
live in, very distinctly. They are 5,000 feet above the sea, and 
have to wear winter clothing, while I can bear only the lightest 



48 Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 

summer clothes I can get. From Landour we can see the range 
upon which the snow lies throughout the year, yet it seems 
to be only a few miles off; but requires a march of one hundred 
miles to reach it, and from the top you can look off into China. 
Many of these lofty peaks are visible. One, the Nanda Dev, is 
25,000 feet high. The highest of the range is Everest, which is 
farther east and is nearly 33,000 feet high. 

The view of Xanda Dev in the direction of the plains is 
very fine. The Doon valley is sixty miles long by fifteen miles 
wide, only looks like a large garden, and beyond it the plains of 
India, stretching away many weary miles, presenting cities and 
villages to the view, in great numbers, where the Ganges and 
the Jumna Rivers, like silver threads, are seen meandering 
through. It was of India that Bishop Heber wrote — 

"Where every prospect pleases, 
And only man is vile." 

I often think of it ! 

Dehra is not an old place, but has become quite a city, and 
is growing rapidly. We have a high school there attended by 
two-hundred pupils, who study English, Hindoo, Persian, and 
other such branches as young men study at home. We have com- 
menced recently a similar school at Rajpora which already num- 
bers seventy pupils ; the latter school is seven miles off, and both 
are under my superintendence. Near the city we have a Chris- 
tian girls' school under the care of Miss Beatty, a cousin of Rev. 
Dr. Beatty of Steubenville, Ohio. She was educated at Phila- 
delephia, and is an excellent young lady and a good teacher. She 
has about forty pupils, and some of them are good scholars, and 
do great credit to their teacher. We have two services on the 
Sabbath, and Sabbath-school. Our congregations are large but 
not all are Christians. I preach altogether in Hindostani, both in 
the church and Bogar, which I visit often, in order to reach the 
people. Pray for us and for the work in which we are en- 
gaged. We have six children: Dora, ten; Anna, eleven; Mary, 
eight ; Emma, seven ; George, five ; Edward, one, and were they 
not ours, I would say they are very good children. 

I have just heard of the death of your dear brother Will. 
Give my love to your father and mother, and tell them that you, 
and they, have my heartiest sympathy under your sore trial ; but 



Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 49 

you, and they, know where to look for sympathy such as this 
world can not give. It is well with him. 

(iive my love to your brothers and sisters, aunt Margaret, 
uncles Coulter and John, and to each and all of their respective 
families. Tell your Uncle Coulter 1 want him to write me a 
long letter, telling me all about his wife, children, and all the 
friends. 1 would have written sooner hut you did not send me 
your address. 1 wrote to brother George, and he forgot to send it, 
so I shall send this to him and he will forward it. 

There, I have written a long letter. If Martha and the 
children were here they would wish me to send much love to you 
and your dear husband. 

Goodbye, 

Your affectionate cousin, 

Robert Stewart FuLLERTOiN." 

"Cousin Robert", with his heart of good cheer and loving 
disposition, was greatly beloved among a large circle of relatives. 
Just before his death he sent to all the adult cousins beautiful 
moss agates, which, made into brooches, are highly prized by 
those possessing them as souvenirs of his thought fulness.

for the ministry. He preached his popular sermon and was li- 
censed at Concord, Oct. 9, 1845. His first call was to Rocky 
Spring, Ohio, which he agreed to accept, and was given a text for 
a trial sermon for ordination, but before this time on account of 
ill health returned the call. Fie afterwards studied medicine, and 
practiced for more than forty years at Bloomingburgh. Ohio.

From the dates, Joseph and Martha must have gone to 
Bloomingburgh, N. Y., about the time of the death of Ann P. 
(Carr) Stewart, and Martha kept house for her brother George. 
Joseph was in the mercantile business and it was here Robert 
Stewart met and married the sister of Joseph, Esther Gillespie. 
On their removal to Ohio, Joseph became a farmer and lived at 
Gillespie Cross Roads one mile south of Bloomingburgh. Every 
Wednesday afternoon he quit his work an hour earlier than usual 
so as to prepare for the weekly prayer meeting in town. He 
was for many years Justice of the Peace and was known as 
"Judge Gillespie."

54 Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 

"One of Fayette County's oldest and best citizens, Air. 
George Stewart, passed away at his home Bloomingburgh, Ohio, 
on Monday, March 4, 1901, in the 826. year of his age. For 
his whole life he had been a resident of this County. He was 
a member of the Presbyterian Church of Bloomingburgh, and an 
Elder for over twenty years. As to his long, devoted life for 
the Master, and for the church, nothing need be said, as it is 
well known to the community. 

"In his last sickness he was often heard praying, and in the 
wanderings of his mind, was a Priest again at the family 
altar. This verse was often on his lips : 

" 'Where the treasure is, there will the heart be also.' And 
especially he quoted the old hymn so dear to the hearts of the 
Scoth Covenanters : 

' 'How firm a foundation, ye Saints of the Lord, 
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word, 
E'en down to old age all my people shall prove, 
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love, 
And when hoary hair shall their temples adorn, 
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.' 

"And so he passed on to his God, and joyfully we leave him 
there. Precious the thought, that the same day the Chief Mag- 
istrate* of our land was crowned with earthly honor and power, 
our brother was crowned with the wealth of Eternal life before 
the Throne of God."

LETTER WRITTEN BY JAMES STEWART, 

Son of Hugh, Sr., to his brother Robert, in Illinois, from Bloomingburg, 

Ohio, May 30, 1860. 

Dear Brother Robert : 

I have just read a letter from Coulter's wife to Jane Ed- 
wards, giving an account of your affliction. This news we were 
sorry to hear, but, my brother, it is God who chastiseth us, and 
it is in kindness, to show us of unfaithfulness to Him. This 
kindness we see and feel the oftener he brings us down into the 
valley of humiliation. This I can say by experience. I think 
that the falling off my horse the 9th of August last, has been a 
great blessing to me, for I have been in great measure shut out 
from the world and many of its temptations. I have this time 
felt a gread deal of comfort, since I have been afflicted, so I 
can say in truth and sincerity, that it was good that God had 
chastened and brought me to the gate of death. Although I have 
always felt I was a child of God, I never felt such sweet nearness 
to Him as for the last ten months. 

This is my fourth letter since my fall. We have very little 
to trouble us. We have conveyed all of our land to the children. 
We conveyed to George, the lower farm ((1040 acres), and 435 
acres of the home farm, in consideration of which he keeps us. 



Genealogy of Hugh Stcivart and Descendants. 59 

in everything we may need during our lives, and gives me $10,000 
without interest for six years. 

We are living in our old room and eat at his table, and he 
keeps a horse and shed for our buggy. They are very kind in- 
deed to us. Mother has not been well for several weeks. They 
pay her every attention. 

I conveyed to Jane Carson Hoyt, 1000 acres during her life 
time, to go to her children. The Hoyts are at Oberlin, Ohio, 
schooling their children, and we have just heard from them that 
they are doing well. 

I conveyed to Matthew Lewis, just what he agreed to take, 
520 acres on the north Fork of Paint Creek, 161^ acres of the 
home farm next to town, and a house and lot in town. 

I have a little means left for a rainy day, but not much that 
I expect to control. George is building a very large house close 
by the old home, and while we need it, we will occupy the front 
room. 

George Fullerton was here yesterday. He had just returned 
from Springfield, where he left his wife, and will go to 
Hillsboro next week for her. We have had our share of hail 
storms, some wheat and rye destroyed and we had some glass 
broken. About one thousand panes were broken in town (Bloom- 
ingburgh). We had no houses injured, but there was great de- 
struction in Cincinnati, and south and north-west of it, and great 
destruction up the river for ten miles wide, up to Wheeling, W. 
Va., though very few lives were lost only on the river. 

Note: — This hailstorm was historical in damage and extent. It was 
through this region the terrible floods of 1913 also became historical. 

I have heard your old friend McClain who bought the Coul- 
ter property, will not be able to pay for it. A large number of old 
pioneers have gone to their final account during the past year. 
Most of our people were well pleased with the action of the 
Chicago convention. Chase was our first choice. Seward, the 
choice of New York; but I believe they made a good selection,* 
as the God-forsaken party had slandered and abused them both 
until many had come to believe it true. I must believe that a 
more abandoned set of dishonest mistakes couldn't be found

in any party's course, so that almost any change will be for the 
better. They can not but learn a lesson from the past. 

Brother Hugh is still at the Presbyterian General Assembly 
at Rochester, N. Y. He expected to come home by Philadelphia, 
and is somewhat uncertain what time he may return, but when he 
comes I think he will go to see you, and if I dare to venture, I 
will try to go with him. I have been troubled with a tendency 
of blood to the head, and have had several severe attacks within 
three weeks, so it may not be prudent for me to go away from 
home. Still if I can, I will go. 

Should we never meet again on earth, I have strong hopes 
we will meet in Heaven, where we will unite with our beloved 
friends in praising God and the Lamb for ever and ever. 

Both Jane and George unite with me in love to all the 
family and friends, 

Your affectionate brother, 

James Stewart. 

Note: — The original of this letter still exists in the quaint old 
style writing of that time. — E. S. L. 

Written by James Stewart, about 1847. 

The subject of this memoir was born on the 19th day of 
Sept. 1786, in Washington County, Maryland, near Hagerstown. 
His father and mother, Hugh and Alargaret Roxburgh (Smith) 
Stewart, resided at Philadelphia during the Revolutionary War, 
where his father was a member of the City Guards, but on their 
marriage in 1780, be received an honorable discharge from George 
Washington and emigrated to what was called then, the "back 
country" of Pennsylvania. Shortly after this they moved into 
Maryland and settled on the land of General Spriggs at which 
place James was born. "My father put the money of which he 
was possessed at the time, into land at its then low price, I think 
of about five shillings per acre, and in the low value of land in 
those times, he thought it not worth buying even at that price, 
but later it became quite valuable. He owned, on this land, some 
large stone deposits, and to serve the greatest need of the new 
country he opened large quarries, and furnished the building 
material for some of the finest houses in all that region, among 
which were the large buildings put up for Gen'l. Samuel Ringgold, 
who then owned the Manor of that name. I think this Manor

contained some thirteen thousand acres, all laid off in farms of 
one hundred and. fifty, and some times two hundred acre-. Most 
of these lands were tenanted out. At that time ( ieneral Ringgold 
became considerably in debt to my father, and this caused father 
to move to Ringgold Manor, having it in view to make pur- 
chase of said land, and here the family moved and made their 
home from 1787 to 1801. 

"The feeling among the slave owners, and the necessity of 
employing free negroes, seemed to compel my father at this 
time, to become the owner of a number of slaves; but they were 
unprofitable in mind as well as body, and the family were opposed 
to the system, especially my mother, who saw clearly its demoraliz- 
ing effects, and by this time, father found it a very troublesome 
business, and he parted with them, though at a very heavy finan- 
cial loss, and it was the cause of his leaving Maryland, and tak- 
ing these manumitted negroes into the free state of Pennsyl- 
vania. It was about 1801 when he removed the family to 
Greencastle, Franklin County, Pa., where he established a mer- 
cantile business, which he left in the direction of his capable 
family while he continued a quarry not far from his home but 
still in Maryland. At this time twelve children had been born, 
four of whom were dead, and two more were born here, and few 
families were more managing and enterprising, for on the Ring- 
gold Manor my father had accumulated a considerable amount 
of property, and was about to purchase several hundred acres of 
the Manor called the "Neck", on the Potomac; but for the causes 
already stated he concluded to visit Ohio first, and in 1804 m com- 
pany with Thomas Fullerton who had married his oldest daughter 
Elizabeth, he made the journey by horseback, and made a pur- 
chase of 800 acres of land of the Lucas survey, on which survey 
the old Indian town (now Frankfort) was located, twelve miles 
west of Chillicothe, the former seat of government of Ohio. 

"On this land there were settlers who were cultivating- corn 
to a considerable extent, so that in a year or two the rent-corn 
amounted to many thousands of bushels. So in 1807 corn was 
very plentiful and low, and whiskey was scarce and high, so it 
was thought best to send me to Ohio accompanied by a young 
married couple, he to operate the still, and she, to keep house. So 
with two fine large stills for the purpose of converting the corn 
into whiskey and then into cash, on the 10th day of November, 



62 Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 

1807, I left my home in Maryland well provided for in clothing, 
books, and household effects, and on the fourth day of Dec. 
we arrived and settled on said land, (in title cession 1250 
acres,) and commenced work on the still-house, and on Christmas 
day the house was ready for business. 

Note: — James must have stayed in Maryland with his father. 

"I purchased the still, tubs and barrels from Mr. John 
McCoy, and on the day the man began to "must" the first three 
tubs, I started to Bush's Mill for a load of chopped corn and 
rye. The house we had built took fire, and frustrated all my 
father's plans by burning up everything, even some bank notes 
and run into a lump all we had in silver. This caused the young 
couple to leave me to do for themselves. Left so deserted, far 
from the help and advice of my father, I knew only to fulfill the 
duty that seemed mine, and driving to Chillicothe went in debt 
to Mr. John McVanburgh (McClanburgh?) some seventy-five dol- 
lars, and carried all before me on my horse, wrapped up in a 
small blanket, took up my residence for about fourteen 
months, in one end of the still house, and, not knowing what other 
to do, I did nearly all the work of cooking, stilling, cutting wood, 
shelling corn and milling, and made a number of barrels of 
whiskey. These were all new barrels, piled away when filled, in 
a dark still house, and when I undertook to prepare them for 
market, it had leaked out so that it took two or three to fill one. 
This loss was increased by a great quantity taken by the callers 
who infested the still-house almost all the time, and took what 
they wanted, free, for the "string" of my door was "always 
out" (except on the Sabbath). 

"About the expiration of fourteen months my father and 
family arrived at the new home, in the house I had been able 
to prepare for them the summer previous. Here they lived for 
a short time, till the building on the hill of the old homestead. 
This was a relief to my disappointments and bereavements, and 
put an end to manufacturing any more of that desolating ar- 
ticle. In 1809 my father purchased, among other tracts of land, 
several hundred acres in the 'Barrens', a place called the "New 
Purchase," on the direct way from Chillicothe to Springfield, 
through that part of the old Ross territory afterward laid off 
as Fayette Co." 



Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 63 

"On this laiul I first settled, and still own and occupy as a 
part of mv possessions. In 1X10 the Commissioners of the new- 
county first ^at. in my home, as I was then up from Frankfort 
making some improvements, and 1 was by them appointed to mark 
the line around the new count)-; which duty was performed, and 
in 1810, my brother. Col, Robert, who now occupies a large part of 
our father's old possessions, accompanyed me to this land and 
assisted in raising a crop of corn in the new laid off county. 

"Shortly after our arrival the Court of Common Pleas ap- 
pointed by brother Robert director of the county seat, but he, 
leaving early the following spring — of 1812 — to reside in Bloom- 
ingburgh, N. Y., I was appointed in his place. In 181 1 this new- 
county was formed into an odd Battalion, and on the 13th of 
Nov. I was commissioned by R. J. Meigs, Major of said 
battalion, and in the following year it was organized into a regi- 
ment, 3 R. 3 B. Second Division of North ( ?) Militia, over 
which I was elected colonel and secured my commission. On 
Sabbath morning, at which time I was about starting to Wash- 
ington to church, by the land of Presley Moore, I met the brigade 
inspector with orders, at the same time to call out my regiment 
composing the same bounds the battalion did, which was the 
whole County of Fayette, to rendezvous on the next Tuesday 
evening at Washington about twenty- four miles distant, where 
the whole brigade was to meet. My regiment was the first on 
the ground ; everything prepared, with baggage and teams, to 
march to the relief of Fort Meigs, that was being besieged by 
the British and Indians; but before the brigade encamped on 
the Sandusky plains, they had raised the siege, and after remain- 
ing there some time. General Harrison not being prepared to go 
further at that time, my troop was disbanded." 

In the year 181 1, on the 29th day of May, James married 
Jane Robinson of Ross County, daughter of William Robinson, 
a reputable man and large land owner, one of the pioneers of the 
state, and among the first settlers on the North Fork of Paint, and 
about five miles north of Chillicothe. He was one of the com- 
pany with Finley and others, and whose brother, Joshua Robin- 
son, was shot by the Indians at the crossing of Paint Creek, where 
he died of his wounds and was buried in a tree-top wrapt in his 
blanket; and later they saw an Indian wearing this blanket over 
his shoulders. By his wife, who is still living, he had ten

children, seven of whom are dead with only three living. George, 
Jane Carson, married to the Rev. C. A. Hoyt, and Matthew Lewis, 
and all are settled on large farms around him. Soon after he 
was married, he joined the Presbyterian Church at South Sa- 
lem, then under the pastoral care of the Rev. James D<ickey, and 
soon after, with two or three others, was active in organizing a 
small church at Washington, now the county seat, under the pas- 
toral care of Rev. Samuel Battruge (?) in which he was elected 
a ruling elder, and a short time afterward, through his efforts and 
two or three others, who are still living, they organized a church 
at Bloomingburgh, under the pastoral charge of the Rev. William 
Dickey, who has been its pastor thirty-five years, and still is, in 
connection with the Rev. R. W T . Wilson, a co-pastor in the same 
church. In this also he was elected again a ruling elder, and all 
this time with but three or four others at first, was very active in 
advancing the interest of the church, and in engaging in every

Daily Herald, Washington C. EL, Ohio. Monday, Feb. 27th, 1911. 

"It was one hundred years yesterday since Robert Stewart 
acknowledged the original 'Town Place' of Washington before 
Joseph Hopkins, Judge, and filed it in the Recorder's office. 

"The record is yellow and brittle with age but in a good 
state of preservation, and clearly legible. 'Old Town' was con- 
tained in small boundary. Two rows of out-lots on two sides. 

"The acknowledgment is in this language. 'State of Ohio, 
Fayette County. Personally appeared before me, Joseph Hop- 
kins, one of the Associate Judges of Fayette County, Robert 
Stewart, Director of the town of Washington, seat of justice for 
the county of Fayette, and acknewledged the within plan to be 
correct according to the direction of the Court.

The original record, "yellow and brittle" is now owned by 
Emma Stewart Lyman having been given her by Carrie Stewart 
Fullerton. 

FROM A CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH RECORD. 

"April 5, 1856, the Congregational Church at Champaign, 
Illinois, received important additions. Col. Robert Stewart and 
his wife, his sons, Samuel G., H. Coulter, and John, with their 
wives and six others, united with the church, which seemed to 
establish it anew, and give it new power, and energy to battle 
with the foes of Religion and Reform". 

By the help of these additions, and the sacrifices that they, 
and the old members of the church were able to make, they so far 
completed their new house of worship as to be able to occupy it, 
although in an unfinished condition. The writer remembers at-

tending services in this church early in the spring of 1856, when 
half the room was furnished with rude seats, the other half oc- 
cupied with carpenter's bench and tools, and the minister stood 
behind an empty dry goods box to read the hymn, and deliver his 
sermon. 

Col. Robert Stewart is spoken of at Champaign, Illinois, 
where he lived, "as long to be remembered as one of the most 
remarkable men that ever lived in the county. He was descended 
from a Scotch family and the gentleness, the enthusiasm and the 
fire of the old Scotch Covenanters seemed blended in him. He 
had been a life-long hater and opposer of Slavery, an advocate of 
temperance, and an active member of the old Liberty Party, and 
assisted to canvass Ohio for James G. Birney for President in 
1844. He was then the Liberty candidate for congress in one 
of the Congressional Districts of that State, but without hope 
of election, battled manfully for God and the Right.*' 

OBITUARY OF ROBERT STEWART. SOX OF HUGH. 

STEWART : Died at his residence near Crbana, Champaign 
County, 111., on the 17th of June, i860, Col. Robert Stewart in 
the seventieth year of his age. Col Stewart was the son of Hugh 
and Margaret Stewart, born July 13, 1789, at Ringgold Manor, 
Hagerstown, Md., and spent his boyhood in that state and Penn- 
sylvania. At the age of nineteen he emigrated with an older 
brother to old Chillicothe, now Frankfort, Ohio. Being a prac- 
tical surveyor, he was appointed by the court in the spring of 181 1 
to lay out the town of Washington, Fayette county, Ohio. In 
the spring of 1812, he went to New York on horseback, carrying 
his youngest brother then, six years old (now, Dr. Flugh C Stew- 
art of Bloomingburgh, Ohio,) before him on a horse, a distance 
of six hundred miles. Some time in the year 1813 he experienced 
religion, and united with the Associate Reformed Church in 
Bloomingburgh, N. Y., of which his brother was pastor. In 1815 
he married Esther Gillespie, and was for several years engaged 
in mercantile business in Bloomingburgh, New York, and in Bal- 
timore, Md. In 1820 he again moved to Ohio, and settled near 
Frankfort. Here he connected himself with the "Old School" 
Presbyterian Church of Concord, which was for many years under 
the pastoral care of Rev. James Dickey, late of Hennepin, 111. 
He was a ruling elder in this church, most of the time he re-

mained in its connection. In [826 his wife died, leaving six chil- 
dren. In about a year from this time he married Margaret Pat- 
ton of Chillicothe, Ohio, who is still living. 

A.S a man he was possessed of a strong cultivated mind, a 
kind and affectionate disposition, and a tender conscience. As a 
christian he did not rest his hope on a mere external profession, 
but endeavored to adorn the doctrine of God his Savior in all 
things, by a walk and conversation becoming the gospel. 1 1 is 
first inquiry seemed to be "what is duty?" and when the path of 
duty was plain, he had faith and moral courage to walk therein, 
even though the popular voice was against him. He was a pio- 
neer in the anti-slavery and temperance reforms. In the early 
history of the agitation of the slavery question he was convinced 
that slavery was a sin against God, an outrage against humanity 
and a reproach upon the religion of Jesus, hence he endeavored 
to bear a faithful testimony against it, not only in his political 
actions, but in his church relations. 

After having labored with others for many years to 
induce the church with which he was connected to take what he 
believed to be Christian ground on the subject, viz.: — -entire 
separation in its ecclesiastical relations from the sin of slave- 
holding, without seeing any prospect whatever of accomplishing 
the desired object, he resolved, as for himself, he would no longer 
give countenance to this great iniquity by fellowshipping it in 
the church, hence he separated himself from the church with 
which he had been connected for so many years, and joined the 
"New School" Presby terian church which had been in existence 
for a short time. There being no organization in the vicinity, he 
and his family with a few others, organized themselves into a free 
church and called the Rev. J. R. Gibson to take charge of it as 
its pastor. It was not designed, however, that his labors in the 
cause of his Master should stop here, for shortly after the little 
church had become self supporting, and in this respect inde- 
pendent, the greater portion of the large property which by a 
life of industry and economy he had accumulated, without any 
fault of his own, was suddenly and unexpectedly swept away, 
leaving only the lands at Champaign, and upon his removal there, 
his first business was to find a home in the church. There being 
no New School Presbyterian church, (to which he had become 
greatly attached) in the bounds of his new home, but a small 



68 Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 

Congregational church, orthodox in doctrine and reformatory in 
practice, after a careful consideration he cheerfully united with 
it. and now with the energy and Christian zeal, for which he was 
characterized in his younger days, he went to work in the cause 
of the Redeemer, sacrificing his time and means, in the promotion 
of the great work. He was the friend of education in general, 
and showed his friendship by contributing of his means for the 
building up and endowment of institutions of learning. He 
assisted more or less in the education of several young men for 
the ministry, among whom may be mentioned the Rev. Hugh S. 
Fullerton of South Salem. Ohio. The agents of a number of 
benevolent societies made his house a stopping point and usually 
went away with a liberal donation. He remembered some of 
these Societies in his will. His beneficence was not, however, 
confined to the public objects of charity, but the poor of his own 
neighborhood were charitably remembered. The stranger was 
never turned away hungry from his door. The fleeing fugitive 
from injustice found a resting place and sympathy under his roof- 
He was always kind and charitable toward his pastor, endeavor- 
ing to obey to the letter the injunction: "Let him who is taught 
in the word, communicate unto him who teacheth in all good 
things." He seldom entered the minister's house without leav- 
ing with him some token of friendship. His last illness which 
was protracted, and at times very severe, was borne with Chris- 
tian patience and resignation. For some months before his death, 
he felt that the time of his departure was near at hand, and made 
his arrangements accordingly. Having settled up all his business, 
with as much precision as he could have done in health, he re- 
marked, "My work is now done. I know of nothing further than 
to wait my Master's will, 'for I know whom I have believed and 
am persuaded that He is able, to keep that which I have commit- 
ted unto Him against that day.' " 

He stated that he had for many years tried to live a Christian 
and that he had in some degree sustained a Christian character, 
but he placed no confidence in anything he had done, his only 
hope was in the Lord Jesus Christ. When speaking of human 
freedom and Christianity, he felt that he could leave the interests 
so dear to his heart in the hands of Christ, with the full assurance 
that the right would prevail. His faith endured to the last, and

his death was a triumphant testimony of the truth, power and 
blessedness, of the religion of Jesus. 

Thus has passed a beloved and faithful member and officer 
of the church militant, to the church triumphant. We can but 
feel and mourn his loss but we mourn having hope. 

"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord henceforth. 
Yea, saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors and their 
works do follow them." 

"This, Esther, is Father Robert's obituary written by Mr. 
Van Dyke, pastor of Urbana Church. I have it in my scrap 
book, as I wanted it to preserve for my own dear children to 
know what a noble, good man their father's father was. There 
are few such men in this day. 'Father Stewart is a noble man,' 
as I used to hear my good old father say of him ; he greatly ad- 
mired his strong principles, among others, his work in the anti- 
slavery cause, as my father was in sympathy with all such move- 
ments at that time.

LETTER FROM ESTHER STEWART HUNT TO FANNIE 
STEWART WHITE, 1893. 

"When grandfather Robert died your father and gt.-aunt 
Mary Ustick came on for a few days, until all was over. I am 
glad to have grandfather's letter and will return it, but it shows 
a broken and dispirited man. I will try to give those things of 
him which I remember, briefly : 

When eighteen years old he went to New York to live with 
his oldest brother, George, a minister and teacher in the German 
Reformed Church and school, at Bloomingburgh, N. Y. 

He often told how he went into New York City to bring 
lecturers out, and how the people would take sleds and tramp 
the roads after the first snow, to make the sleighing good all 
winter. Here he learned the mercantile business with Joseph 
Gillespie, and they exchanged sisters. Joseph Gillespie had 
favored his sister Esther's marriage to a wealthy old merchant, 
but grandfather, then a gallant young man of twenty-two or 
three, rescued her from a life of unhappiness, though one of ease, 
he could not give, when they became pioneers. She was a society 
girl and a great beauty. Father remembers how the luxuriant 



70 Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 

mass of golden brown curling hair fell below her knees. To her, 
beauty was such a curse, she prayed that no child or grandchild 
might inherit it. Grandfather was a great reader and a man of 
excellent judgment, generous and jolly in disposition and gained 
friends wherever he went. 

Besides Bloomingburgh, N: Y., they were in business in Bal- 
timore, but a cloud coming over affairs they came to Ohio, trav- 
eling in a 'dandy wagon' to the lakes. This was in the spring of 
1820, and uncle George Stewart was a baby. Great grandfather 
Hugh was living alone in his castle on the hill, as great aunt 
Alary Ustick had taken her mother home with her. It was Rob- 
ert's first intention to live there, but they soon found great 
grandfather an uncomfortable man to live with, and as a result 
they left the old mansion and went to their own estate, where they 
built a one-story, rambling, brick house quite southern in style. 

Here it was, I was taken weekly by grandfather, that I might 
be near school, and where I met many of the notables of the day, 
who often came on political missions and consultations, Salmon 
P. Chase, Birney, and others. Air. Chase often brought his 
charming, brilliant daughter Kate who was the most active, bird- 
like girl I ever saw. You know grandfather ran for Congress in 
one of the Congressional districts in Ohio in 1844. He came 
home from Illinois in 1854 m time to vote for his life-long friend, 
Salmon P. Chase for Governor of Ohio. Grandfather had been 
the means of bringing Ross County into the Republican ranks, 
where it has remained ever since. 

Tf you will not leave us,' begged his friends, 'we will send 
you to the Legislature.' The brothers were Abolitionists, not of 
the Garrison, but rather of the Birney type, who maintained, 'that 
law was supreme', but this appealed to their Scotch lawfulness, 
'that state officers could not rightfully be obliged to enforce the 
fugitive slave law, while the Nation recognized slavery.' How- 
ever, he, his brothers and sons were those of the 'Underground 
Railroad' chain, which action they took after serious deliberation, 
not against the law, but a private right of their tender human- 
itarianism and that belief in personal liberty left in their blood 
by the persecutions of their old Scotch Covenanter ancestors. 
Here in this dear and generous home, cheerful and happy, the 
long table was always crowded with cousins, and men and women 
of the day. Here grandmother Esther had a short-lived happi-

ness, dying when baby Robert was but ten months old, at the age 
of twenty-eight, in 1826. 

Note: — It lias been suggested that the strange mortality of this 
time was a form of the cholera that desolated the country the following 

year. — F. S. W„ E. S. L. 

Typhoid fever raged through the country. Grandfather and 
grandmother, when great aunt Elizabeth Eullerton and family 
were stricken, brought them to their home where they were ten- 
derly nursed, but Elizabeth died, and was taken to the burying 
place on the hill. A year later grandmother Esther, worn and 
exhausted from care of the sick, was left alone with father 
(Samuel), a small boy, and she begged for something to eat, 
but the old-style cupboards were too high, and he could not reach, 
so the gentle, needed, little mother was carried over to the old 
graveyard too. Great grand mother, (Margaret Roxburgh. Stew- 
art.) came to Robert in his dire distress and stayed a year, car- 
ing for the children and enforcing the laws of economy and thrift, 
and Robert began a greater prosperity. Then she said, 'Robert, 
you must find a mother for these children, I am too old for this 
care.' T had never thought of it a moment, before,' he told me, 
'and walked the floor all night,' for my heart was in the grave 
with my lovely wife Esther.' But once his mind was made up, 
he was not a man to tarry, so he dressed and went for his second 
courtship. He passed through Chillicothe, across Paint Creek to 
the old Patton estate, where he called for Margaret Patton. 
She came, and he told her he had heard of her goodness of char- 
acter, and he wanted a mother for his children. 'You will always 
have my respect, though my love I cannot give.' Her noble and 
characteristic reply was, 'The respect of Robert Stewart is more 
than any other man's love, and I will go.' So in little less than a 
year the dear little mother's place was filled. The respect prom- 
ised was always given, and she proved a woman worthy of the 
confidence reposed in her. Not a beautiful woman, except in 
faith, and patience, and the doing of good deeds to those around 
her. She outlived grandfather seven or eight years, making her 
home with her son, John Patton Stewart. 

Robert, with his family, were 'blue Presbyterians,' until in 
uncle George's church at Bloomingburgh, X. Y., he became a 
German Reformed ; emigrant Presbyterians having gone into this

church, rather than form a new one. In Ohio, the old Concord 
Church gave them the shelter they needed, and thereafter they 
were back in the old faith. In 1855 grandfather and the 'clans', 
because of financial disaster, moved to Champaign, 111., then a 
cluster of a few houses. A property, even in those moderate 
times, worth over eighty thousand was taken by the banks, they 
realizing every dollar, and turning over the lands in Champaign 
county, to Robert. Enough was left to give comfortable homes 
to those who went with him. Grandfather died broken hearted 
from the ruin of his hopes, dyspepsia set in, and at the age of 
seventy-one, with uplifted face, as seeing the hosts of the de- 
parted, with the name of 'Esther' on his lips, he went from us." 

ANOTHER LETTER FROM E. S. EL, 1894. 

"Grandfather, Robert stood for the worth-while and prin- 
cipled things of life, and it is told of him that while absent in New 
York on business, 'the sideboard' war of temperance (about 1840,) 
developed at Frankfort, and the men said, 'If Col. Stewart will 
abolish his sideboard we will ours.' When he rode into the yard 
step grandmother hurried out and eagerly told him, before he 
alighted, what the community said. He flung himself off his 
horse exclaiming, 'I will, for no man shall stumble into hell over 
me!' 

"He also abandoned the use of liquor to his men (as this 
was a custom,) which made some of his neighbors very indignant, 
and one man in, defiance, went and brought so much liquor that 
all of his men drank till they fell asleep in the field, and he was 
so discouraged that he went to engage more helpers, as his crop 
was likely to be lost. He hunted all day, and came home at night 
saying, it wasn't any use, he could not get enough men, and would 
have to lose his wheat. Then his wife told him he need not be 
worried, for Col. Stewart and his men had seen the trouble he was 
in, and they had been over and got his wheat into the barn. 

"For some reason a Mr. Pancake had taken a dislike to him, 
and was on the watch to catch him helping fugitive slaves on 
their way to Canada, and in hopes of learning how best to trap 
him, went one night to stand at the window and listen. Grand- 
father was kneeling under an open window leading at family 
prayers, so near, the man could have laid his hand on his head, 



Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 73 

and there as he listened he heard him pray for himself (Mr. 
Pancake) and family, and was so impressed he stole away, but 
afterwards told grandfather that it turned his bitter hatred into 
life-long friendship. 

"One night other enemies sent a boy to the door and told him 
a hungry man wanted him at the gate. 'Wait,' he said, and gath- 
ered a loaf of bread from the table and hastened out to relieve 
the man's necessity ; but that was too much for the crowd armed 
with sticks and stones, and they hurriedly scattered to their 
homes. 

"lie was a magistrate and known as 'Squire' Stewart, and 
did much to control and enforce Sunday, and other laws. He 
became Colonel of the 13th Ohio Militia, when he was thereafter 
known by that title. Some of these men in after years, declared 
him to have been rough and intolerant in the discipline of his 
regiment, but if this was true, in all other walks of life he had a 
charming manner, was sunny-tempered and full of jollity, a 
tower of strength to those who needed him, generally clear in 
judgment, but careless in detail, resulting in his broken fortunes, 
shared by his sons w T ho although the deeds were made, had never 
received them, and a large share was lost under the forced sale."

Samuel was the eldest son of Robert and Esther (Raney) 
Gillespie. He inherited his mother's physique and temperament. 
He was left motherless at an early age and was brought up under 
strict Scotch discipline and the catechism. His father was ab- 
sorbed in many outside affairs, being identified with the political, 
religious and temperance movements of the day. His young son 
was left a trusty watchman of his temporal affairs, and could 
never be spared for the schools and colleges of his brothers and 
sisters, a fact he deplored all his life. Their home was "an un- 
derground railroad station", and at his father's bidding he spent

many weary nights in forwarding the fugitive slave on to Canada. 
He was of a gentle, yielding disposition, respected and trusted, 
with a bit of the old Scotch training lingering in the training of 
his own family. He was early chosen Deacon of the Congrega- 
tional Church. His later years were shadowed by broken health. 
He lies in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Champaign, 111.

STORY OF THE "BASKET BABIES". 

Rev. Sanford Burrill, with his wife [Martha Stewart, (dau. 
of Samuel) and four children, in the interests of his church and 
to further a land acquirement, went into the mountains of eastern 
Oregon, in 1881. Here were born twin children in December, 
with the snow and ice holding all the mountain world in thrall. 
"Have you written home about the little ones?" the pioneer 
mother asked her brother Robert ; and then came coma to end her 
sufferings, and she went "Home". Bereft of a mother for his 
children, the father put the few weeks' old infants into a basket, 
and with her brother (Robert) and four little boys, journeyed to

the Pacific ocean, and took a steamer to San Francisco, where they 
began the long journey overland to Illinois, sympathy and ten- 
derness from fellow travelers being accorded them all the way. 
The great floods of 1882 delayed the little party, and they were 
three weeks in reaching the end of their journey, where the 
well-cared-for, smiling infants, crept into the hearts of those who 
adopted them for their own, lovingly rearing them to educated 
manhood and womanhood. Rev. Burrill, taking his four boys 
and niece Mary, returned to Oregon with Robert. 

Note: — Mr. Burrill and his wife's brother, Robert Stewart, were 
assisted in caring for these babies on their long journey, by any ladies 
who chanced to be fellow travelers on boat, or train. These services 
were voluntary. "In-as-much as ye have done it unto one of the least 
of these, .... ye have done it unto Me."

the "big grove" that lay, a dark and beautiful background, to the 
wild prairie, to the front for eighteen miles. The boundless 
extent of billowing grass, where "boomed" the prairie chicken, 
with breaks of wonderful colors of acres of wild flowers, there

From "Who's Who in Am." 

JUDGE ROBERT STEWART TAYLOR OF FT. WAYNE, IXD. 

''The oldest member of the Mississippi River Commission, 
the organization which has complete charge of all the work upon 
that mighty stream, Judge Taylor was appointed in 1881 by 
Pres. Garfield to succeed Gen. Benj. Harrison, who had been 
elected U. S. Senator from Ind., and who later became President. 

The work of the Mississippi River Commission, consists of 
keeping the channel of the stream open, building levees, and by 
other means keeping the surrounding lands from being flooded. 
To do this necessitates the employment of a vast army of men, 
and Judge Taylor, in company with other men of the Commis- 
sion, makes a number of trips up and down the river each year. 
He is a leading lawyer of Indiana, and always canvasses the 
State in Presidential campaigns, giving great aid to the Repub- 
lican cause. He was one of the Monetary Commission in 1897, 
and when a candidate for the U. S. Senate in 1899, he carried the 
conservative vote of the State, when defeated by Beveridge. 
Of him, his sister Esther writes in 1893, "Stuart had a very 
delightful day at Cincinnati some time ago, finding the house we 
lived in, and standing with uncovered head, where over forty 
years ago he played as a child. He is a charming story teller, 
and fills the house with laughter and joy; such a strong, sensible 
and sunny nature he has, even while carrying tremendous care 
for his different cases."

"Born Oct. 22. 1840, died May 7, 1898. Buried in Ft. Wayne, Ind. 
"After a life spent in active work for humanity, Mrs. Esther 
(Taylor) Housh passed away to the higher life beyond. Possessing 
a charming personality, and rare qualities of the heart which

endeared her to her family and friends, she also drew many to 
her by her intellectual vigor, and deep poetical instinct. She 
consecrated herself to earnest, helpful work, for the uplift of 
the unfortunate and erring, and by her example, showed that even 
this life held much that was beneficent and helpful to all. Her 
cheerful, hopeful serenity even amidst severe trials, made a 
marked impression on the minds of those who knew her. With 
clear spiritual insight, she recognized that religion was an attri- 
bute of the soul toward God, not a creed, a life, a litany, a service, 
and a sacrifice, nor a spectacle, and she exemplified this in her 
daily life. 

"The immediate family are her son, Frank Ellsworth Housh, 
and her brothers and sisters, Judge R. S. Taylor, and Samuel 
R. Taylor, and Mrs. W. L. Hulse and Isaac N. Taylor of this city, 
and Mrs. Bertha T. Rehm of Kansas City. She was born at St. 
Mary's, near Cincinnati, Ohio, and lived a short time in Ft. 
Wayne, Ind., and later removed to Louisville, Ky., where she 
established a Woman's Magazine in 1877, entitled "Women at 
Work." The publication was removed to Brattleboro, Vt, in 
1882', where she continued her editorial work upon the Woman's 
Magazine, and it was here that she became actively engaged in 
the temperance work. She was President of the Vermont W. C. 
T. U. for ten years. During this time she edited the National 
W. C. T. U. Bulletin, and then became closely associated with 
Miss Willard, whose warm and intimate friendship she con- 
tinued to enjoy. About six years ago she removed to Boston, 
where she continued her active temperance work as State Secre- 
tary of Mass. W. C. T. U. She was also the author of man} 
popular temperance leaflets."

TAYLOR — MARGARETTA 3 (ROBERT 2 HUGH 1 ). 

"Margaretta Stewart Taylor was born in Bloooiingburgh, 
N. Y., Feb. 14, 1818. Her father, Robert Stewart, was a mer- 
chant for a short time. Early in her childhood he emigrated to 
the new and wild state of Ohio, and settled in the rich Scioto 
Valley, near Chillicothe. There on a beautiful farm, Margaretta 
grew to womanhood, and there at nineteen years of age, she 
was married to Isaac N. Taylor, a Pres. Minister, who had 
already consecrated his life to pioneer preaching and teaching. 
Her life was mostly spent in Ind., filled with the cares, labors 
and privations that 'belong to the work of the ministry in a new 
country. She was a slender, delicate girl, and her friends did 
not expect at the time that she could survive her marriage many 
years. But though a semi-invalid always, she brought up a 
family of eight children, despite the hardships of her life, and 
lived to pass the allotted three score and ten. For several years 
she suffered from ailment for which there was no hope of cure, 
and her way to the grave was a path of weakness and suffering; 
but she bore it all with heroic and saintlike fortitude and patience. 
She was a Christian of simple and unquestioning faith. None 
of the misgivings that harass the minds of many in these doubt- 
ing days, ever entered her heart. She was as sure of the daily 
presence and care of the Divine Father as of the return of 
sunlight. Through her last clays when any of her children or 
friends made an opportune call, or brought her something 
specially grateful, her explanation of it was, "God sent you." 
She died on the 71st anniversary of her birth, the same birthday 
in Heaven as on earth, Feb. 14th. Her friends will remember 
long her great love for flowers, and her success in the cultivation 
of them and during her later years, much of her time was given 
to following this delightful pursuit; and the plants themselves 
seemed to return her affection, and to bloom for her as though 
it were a pleasure. After a long life of unselfish devotion to duty, 
ripening at last into that serene dignity and beauty which becomes 
'the sanctified mother of men', she has gone to her rest and her 
reward."

where he had a drug store. 

A MEMORY TRIBUTE TO SOPHIA XEWTON STEWART. 

When Morgan made his famous raid through Ky., and into 
Ohio, Dr. George Stewart was absent from home on a pro- 
fessional visit, when the Confederate Capt. and his officers 
appeared at the home and courteously asked for breakfast. With 
sweet dignity, aunt Sophia told them they could give their orders 
to the cook, as she could not feed her country's enemies, and 
calmly retired to her room. Passing through the house, they 
saw the piano, and begged for music while they waited. Alpha, 
the eldest daughter, and a fine musician, played "The Star Spang- 
led Banner," "Red, White and Blue," and other patriotic airs, to 
which they listened respectfully, and then asked for something 
not sectional, which she gave. After breakfasting, taking horses, 
boots and saddles, they rode away.

Son of Robertha Stewart Bassett, dau. of George Horton Stewart. 

"I do not know a great deal about the family that would be 
interesting enough for a sketch. Mother Bassett (Robertha 
Stewart,) once told me of her parents' sorrow over the loss of 
little Robert, the second child, and when she, (Robertha) was 
born two years later, she was named "Eureka Robertha" (I have 
found Robert). That was the meaning of her name, and was 
her father's idea. 

Robertha Stewart Bassett was a beautiful Christian woman, 
and no one could help being better for having come in contact 
with her. 

All the dead of this branch are buried at Evergreen Cemetery,

Of a genial, generous disposition I [ugh Coulter Stewart was 
a notable figure in his community and probably as well known 
as any man in Champaign County. He was an energetic, mag- 
netic worker in church and Sunday-school, being for many years 
superintendent of the Congregational school. He expressed his 
opinions with point and energy, and often suffered in conse- 
quence. On one occasion near the close of the Civil War, a mob 
visited the house to wreak vengeance, but the family was absent 
at church, except a young daughter, (Laura,) who climbed a 
ladder and carried her infant brother to safety across the 
meadows. He was very prosperous for years, but his later life 
was clouded with adversities, and an accident ended a long and 
eventful career.

'The Shadows of the Cypress Trees." 



COPYRIGHT, 1806. MARY STEWART DUNLAP 




HADRIANS VILLA 

Tivoli, Italy 

HE shadows of the cypress trees 
Fall far across the path where 

Hadrian walked, 
Whose Villa was the reigning center 
of the world, 
Where beauty rioted and great men talked. 

Green grass and wild flowers grow among 
The fadeless fragments of mosaic floors, 

And silence fills the place today, unless 
From ruined walls the happy bird his sweet 
song pours. 

May there be in our lives an avenue 
Of stately trees which always points us to 
the sky, 
Where we can rest from strenuous work and 
passing care, 
And learning lessons from the past, 
Make every purpose high.

rounded by the beauty of the hills, she spent many happy and 
active years. For fifteen years she spent the Sunday afternoon-, 
teaching in a Sunday School that was organized for the benefit 
of colored refugees, who moved into the neighborhood at the 
breaking out of the war. "We have lost one of the best friends 
we ever had," they said as they came to look on the peaceful face 
for the last time.— M. S. D. 

Robert Nesmith Dunlap was a native of Antrim, X. If. He 
was a man of independence and courage, and in common with his 
Scotch-Irish ancestry, was ready to defend any truth when at- 
tacked by opponents. Mr. Dunlap did not live long to enjoy their 
happy home, as he died at the age of 49 years.

MARY STEWART DUXLAP. 

"Among American landscape painters now resident on the 
Pacific coast, Miss Mary Stewart Dunlap, a native of Ohio, has 
recently (1912) attracted no small attention since opening her 
studio in Pasadena, Calif. After certain preliminary studies in 
New York, Miss Dunlap spent four years in Paris where she 
attended "Academy Whistler", and the "Academy Delecluse", 
and received as well, valuable criticisms by many noted artists. 
Before leaving Paris, she gave an individual exhibition of her 
work at the American Club, in which were shown many of her 
studies of quaint old houses, and much of her work in Brittany 
and Normandy. She followed her work in France, by studies 
in Rome, and Florence, where she further enlarged the horizon 
of her activities, so that upon her return to this country, she re- 
ceived many recognitions at the various exhibitions to which she 
contributed. After seven years in New York, she decided upon 
California, as the field of her wider diversity of the material she 
was most desirous of interpreting, the portrayal of color-effects. 
Her medium may be. either water color or oil, but she always 
remains faithful to her leaning toward landscape, with the fre- 
quent happy introduction of some quaint building. Throughout, 



112 Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 

Miss Dunlap has remained faithful to her pursuit of landscape 
painting, with no deviations in the direction of genre work. It 
would seem indeed that the message she has undertaken to in- 
terpret is one of the absolute beauty of nature, and of natural 
effects ; that a sunrise, or a morning mist can be as beautiful and 
as interesting a subject for her canvas, as many of more popular 
appeal." — International Studio of 1912. 

At her 5th annual exhibit in 19.12, at the Wadsworth Gal- 
lery, Pasadena, Calif., she was given the following appreciation: 
When asked how she could use such a range of subjects she 
answered brightly, "Why not, I see them all!" and surely she 
does see the elusive expression in the eyes of an Italian child, 
the exact browns for dry grasses of a foreground which is in 
monotone to hold the sea in prominence, the lights and colors of 
the sea, the dull colors of a road in shadow, the translucent green 
of a lifting wave rising in full sunlight.' Eucalyptus trees with 
uneven outlines, blend with the mountain tints, a sunrise show- 
ing through a brilliant color. Alert indeed, must be the color- 
sense to catch the color in their movements, the swell of the sea, 
the wave motion, and the changing clouds. 

"Her Rosy Air, and Violet-misted waters", in her exhibit 
in Pasadena, is so elusive that the canvas seems to change as you 
look. Now pink and pearly, like a shell, now lavender, and now 
shimmering with the opals of sea-fog in the morning sun". 

"You ask about my work", she writes: "It is 17 years and 
twenty-four thousand miles long, so I am rather at sea to know 
what would be most interesting". A few of her paintings, such as 

''Near the Hudson River, — Red Cedars", 
"Old House near Ambletense, France", 
"A September Day on the Maine Coast", 

tell it better than she could, for her paintings of the sea have 
caught its scent; simple and direct in color-feeling and atmos- 
phere are those of quiet days on sea and land in low colored-key. 
cool dawns, and still gray days, full of sympathy and power of 
expression. "Robin's Kisses", a little literary and artistic gem. 
is from her hand. She received honorable mention for flower 
painting "White Lillies and Smoke", (tree,) at the Philadelphia 
Centennial, Silver Medal by Am. Arts Society, in Sept. 1903. 
She is a member of Sorosis, N. Y.

Uncle James Bogle, as I recall him, was a quiet gentle-

joking, as were the Stewarts, but was hospitable and kind. I think 
he was of Covenanter stock, and he was known and respected

Son of William Henry and Jane Patterson (Johnson) Gib- 
son, Oxford, Pa. 

Mr. Gibson writes: I was born on a farm six miles from 
Oxford, Pa. After the death of my father, in 1865, m Y mother, 
brother James P. and I removed to New Wilmington, Pa., the 
seat of Westminster college,* which I entered in the spring of 
that year, at the age of twelve, and graduated in 1872 with degree 
of A. B. Entered Xenia Theological Seminary in the fall of 1872, 
and completed the course in 1876. In the following fall I was 
called to the first church, New Wilmington, the town in which 
I had grown up. This was after my marriage. Subsequently 
held pastorates in Johnstown and Connellsville, Pa., and Monroe, 
la. Later removed to Portland, Ore., later to Bellingham, Wash. 
Since leaving Washington, April 1909, have been pastor of the 
Wheatland U. P. church at Plainfield, 111. 

"Jessie, (Mrs. J. H. Gibson) wife of the pastor of the Grand 
Ave., United Presbyterian Church of Portland, Oregon, is an 
expert in the sign language used by deaf mutes. She first learned 
to 'sign' in order to converse with a relative who was deaf. About 
a year ago, finding that there were quite a number of deaf mutes 
in Portland who had no regular divine service especially for 
them, she determined to make an effort to have the gospel 
preached to them. One of the agencies that aided her was 
unique: A deaf mute came to Portland who soon became ac- 
quainted with the other mutes in the city, of whom he talked a 
great deal to the members of the family he was visiting, where 
there was a lady who had been blind for years, and she learned 
there was no way in which she and the mutes could communicate 
with each other, the reports about other deaf-mutes. On account 
of her own affliction, she felt a very deep sympathy for them 



*This college later conferred degree of D. D., on Mr. Gibson.

and their needs. Mrs. Gibson was already contemplating doing 
some work along this line, and being put in touch with the mutes 
through this young man's influence, was just what she needed to 
get the work started. She and her husband proceeded at once to 
hunt up all the mutes in the city. As many as they could reach, 
they invited to come to their Sabbath morning service. They 
came, and have been coming ever since. Sometime during the 
week Mrs. Gibson makes herself thoroughly familiar with her 
husband's sermon, and on Sabbath morning she stands on an 
elevated place where the mutes can all see her, and where she can 
readily hear Dr. Gibson. She signs them where to find the open- 
ing Bible-chapter, and song, and as they can all read they can 
follow from the books. She signs the opening prayer, and this 
is a case where it is allowable not to bow their heads in prayer, 
for if they did they would lose the prayer altogether. Then the 
sermon is signed in full. There is as much difference between 
the old deaf mute alphabet and the present sign language, as 
there is between the old raised letters for the blind, and the pres- 
ent "New York point". 

"Mrs. Gibson uses signs for nearly all common words, and 
even for whole phrases and clauses. In many cases these signs 
are so expressive, that even the dullest on-looker, could readily 
understand them. For instance, the word "me", is simply putting 
the hand on the bosom; "river" is a hand motion of the waves 
flowing down. Once in a while she finds a word she is obliged 
to spell. But Mrs. Gibson does not stop with merely interpreting 
her husband's sermons. She has taught them to help on church 
programs. Not long ago at a Wednesday evening missionary 
service, one of them "signed". "I will tell the wondrous story", 
taking it wholly from Mrs. Gibson's lips as she sang it. It was 
singularly beautiful and impressive. Another "signed", "Nearer 
my God to Thee". Mrs. Gibson singing, in concert with the 
signing. 

"A few months later, Dr. Edgar P. Hill, pastor of the First 
Pres. Church of Portland, was asked to perform the marriage 
ceremony for a couple of mutes. He called on Mrs. Gibson for 
assistance, sending her a copy of the form he intended to use. 
She went over it again and again till quite familiar with it, the 
more readily to "sign" it. The couple stood in the usual manner 
and he read the ceremony, Mrs. Gibson "signing" it to them. Dr.

Hill afterwards said he had the greatest difficulty in keeping to 
his reading, so interested did he hecome in her "signing", and 
the rapt attention of the mutes. When the vows were taken, the 
mutes simply bowed their heads in response to Mrs. Gibson's 
signs. 'It was the greatest bridal party' Dr. Hill ever had." 

Mrs. Gibson is a pioneer along this line of work in her lo- 
cality. At that time, she was the only person who had thus in- 
terpreted sermons for mutes, in any church west of Chicago. 

A year after she began her work, ten of the mutes were 
taken into the church, and there has been an attendance of thirty 
at one time, and this out of fifty in the city. — Christian Endeavor 
World. 

Mrs. Gibson writes: "After the article appeared in the 
Christian Endeavor World, I received letters from almost every- 
where, asking me how they could learn the sign language. So 
many people were anxious to do something for a friend, a son, a 
sister or a neighbor. Letters came from Halifax, from Califor- 
nia, from Canada, from Maine, and many other states, showing 
how many deaf mutes there are in the country".

AN UNUSUAL EVENT. 
SARAH 3 ( SARAH 2 HUGH 1 ) 

The sixty-first anniversary of the marriage of Sarah Jane 
Bogle and James Finney Stewart, was celebrated on Monday, 
December 12, 1904. These good people have been liberal sup- 
porters of the work of Christ at home, and abroad. They have no 
children of their own, and so the goodly degree of material pros- 
perity which they have enjoyed, has gone to enrich the church. 
The home congregation has always received from them liberal 
support, and in recent years also they have been very liberal to the 
educational institutions. 

In raising the fund to secure the law endowment for Mon- 
mouth college, the largest amount received from any individual 
was from Mr. Stewart. At that time he deeded to the college a 
farm valued at $6,000. To Xenia, Ohio, Seminary, he has given 
$1,500. To Muskingum College, $1,200. To Tarkio College, 
$1,000, and to Cooper Memorial College $1,000. While we may 
not look forward to many more anniversary returns of that day 
with them, we rejoice that the gathering shadows of the far spent 
days of life, can bring no darkness or fears into their hearts, 
for the setting of the sun of the life of earth, can be to them 
only the dawning of an unending day, with Him in whose great 
name, they have labored side by side, for so many years."

"Far Above Rubies." On the nth day of Oct. 1904, there 
came to its earthly end, one of the most beautiful lives that it 
has ever been my privilege to know. Miss Mary Cornelia Bogle, 
one of the charter members of our first Church at Tacoma, Wash, 
on that day passed into rest. Her life was in many ways a re- 
markable one. At the age of three she lost her hearing through 
an attack of scarlet fever, and for almost her entire life she lived 
in silence. At the age of ten, she was placed by her parents, in 
the school for deaf mutes at Columbus, Ohio, where she remained 
until her education was completed. Reared in a Christian home, 
she very early accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, and 
ever after her faith was simple and most beautiful. One day a 
friend asked her if she would not be pleased if her hearing could 
be restored. She answered at once, "No, I wish now that the 
first voice that I hear may be that of my Savior in Heaven." —

"Rural Cottage", Clark County, 0. Sarah Stewart and James 
Bogle when first married, lived in Ross County, ( >., then moved 
near Urbana, ().. and from there they went to "Rural Cottage". 
Margaretta, and perhaps Joseph, were horn in Ross County, and 
Sarah Jane and probably Martha Ann, were born near Urbana, 
O. Late in life they lived near Cedarville, ().. where both died. 

"Scavengers, some might call the pigeons of Tacoma's down 
town district. They live under the eaves of the tall buildings 
and feed in the streets. They are unowned so far as can be 
learned, yet there is a gray-bearded man in Tacoma, James S. 
Bogle, who calls them 'his'. And why shouldn't I, 'they are my 
pets, and need help more than birds that live in natural sur- 
roundings?' A trip to Pacific Avenue and 12th Street, any day 
between noon and 12:30 o'clock will satisfy anyone as to his 
claim. He has been feeding them week days for over a year, but 
up to four months ago, did not come Sundays. Now he comes 
every day, as he figured, that they need food as much on Sun- 
day as on a week day. He stops near the public drinking foun- 
tain, and as soon as they see him they flutter down. Four, tamer 
than the rest, eat from his hand, one being an especial pet, which 
came about this way. He said, T did not know that bird until 
about a fortnight ago. I came down one Sunday morning and 
saw it hopping about as if it were lame. It wasn't tame then, but 
a few days later came upon my hand, and I saw then that some 
long hairs were wrapped about its feet, so I cut them loose and 
set it free, and since then it has been very tame.' He speaks of 
the pigeons as if they were friends, and they are, for they watch 
for his coming from the ledge of the gray buildings, and fly 
eagerly down to meet the man who considers it as important to 
feed these little waifs of the street, as he does to feed him- 
self."

m. Dec. 31, 1821, New York, (d. Feb. 20, 1875, Philadelphia, Pa. 

716. William Arnold Ustick. (b. Nov. 12, 1800, Sullivan Co., 

N. Y. 
(d. July 1, 1890, Washington C. H.,

Wool merchant. 

Mary Stewart Ustick was blessed by nature and grace, with 
a lovely Christian character. It is said she was never known to 
have an enemy, and never was any one more ready than she to 
take the part of the injured or suffering. Unselfish, patient and 
enduring, she was an exemplification of charity as set forth in 
ist Corinthians, thirteenth chapter. 

William A. Ustick had one natural gift that made him dis- 
tinctive, and that was the finest of voices for leading a congre- 
gation in singing. He always came early to the Sabbath evening 
service, and for half an hour he would lead in singing hymns. 
His voice had a peculiar ringing quality that carried inspiration 
with it. In fancy, I hear him now singing, 'How tedious and 
tasteless the hours', or 'Rock of Ages,' 'How firm a founda- 
tion"; all those beautiful old hymns that are so dear to Chris- 
tian hearts. The family, without exception, had fine voices, 
and to worship at their family altar was something to always re- 
member. People of this material age know nothing of that old 
time, when we thought the day not well begun when we had not 
asked for divine guidance and protection. We thank God that 
he was efficient almost to the last day, that he was permitted to 
enjoy an unusually long term of service, and that his faith and 
patience "endured to the end."

years of earthly life, which had much active service for God, and 
the world, and also its full overflowing meed of sweet patience 
under trial and suffering, which gave tender lessons to all about

144 Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 

Daughter of Charles Albert and Catherine Gosner (McNair) 
Elliott, of Philadelphia, Pa. 

To Hugh Stewart Ustick his grandmother Stewart gave his 
name, and claiming a peculiar interest in him, set him apart in his 
infancy to the work of the ministry. During life she made it the 
chief burden of her prayers, that God would place his seal on 
the brow of her little grandson, as a preacher of the Word. In 
her hopes and prayers, his parents joined, and all who witnessed 
the promise of his opening life, felt that these petitions would be 
answered. At the early age of eleven years he united with the 
Bloomingburgh, O., Pres. Church, (for nearly half a century un- 
der the pastoral care of Rev. Wra. Dickey). He attended Salem 
Academy, preparatory to entering Miami University, Oxford, 
Ohio, studied theology at New Albany, Ind. Theo. Seminary, 
was licensed to preach in 1855, married that summer, and in 
January 1857, responded to a call to the Hamilton, Ohio, Pres. 
Church, was ordained to the ministry, and installed as pastor the 
following May. September of that year he was attacked by 
typhoid fever, and on October 31st he entered into the "rest that 
remaineth for the people of God". He was buried at Blooming- 
burgh, near the grave of the grandmother, Margaret Roxburgh 
Stewart, whose prayers had been heard in his behalf, and the 
aged pastor, Mr. Dickey, who having watched him in his infancy, 
stood by his grave, as a father would mourn beside the grave of 
a beloved son. — Presbyterian Almanac.

871. Dr. James Kent White, (b. Mar. 4, 1841, Hunter, O. 

(d. Oct. 6, 1911, Soldiers' Home, 
Johnson City, Tenn. 

Son of David and Sarah (Starr) White of Pa., and Bellaire 
Ohio. 

Dr. White practiced medicine for several years in Union 
City, Indiana, but his health failing steadily from heart disease 
consequent on exposure during- the war, he went south and lived 
a number of years in the Cumberland mountains. In 1909, still 
searching for health, he removed to Florida, but his heart was in 
Tennessee, and he longed to go back, but lived only a week after 
making the change. He sleeps in the beautiful cemetery of the 
Soldier's Home, at the foot of the mountains he loved so well, 
under the soft blue of the Tennessee skies, in a soldier's honored 
grave. 

It is with feelings of the keenest regret that I write a 
tribute to my father's memory. Looking backward over the 
years in search of something tangible to bridge the chasm that 
yawns between us and our ancestors, I realize how blind I have 
been to let the time pass, without learning from those who could 
have told me, more about events, lives, and characters, of our 
grandparents. My father, Dr. Hugh C. Stewart, youngest of 
his father's family, was sent to New York and left there with 
his eldest brother. Rev. George Stuart, to be educated. Though 
I have heard him speak of his brother's school, I do not know 
how long he remained there. Next I remember him as speaking 
of being in Cincinnati clerking for Cassidy and Co., Merchants, 
which must have been in his early manhood. He read medicine 
at Chillicothe, though he did not complete his medical course until 
some years later, after a failure in the mercantile business, when 
he attended Ohio Med. College at Cincinnati, Ohio, in which his 
brother-in-law, Dr. John Moorhead was a professor. 

Note: — An interesting side issue of the family record in this 
relationship is the second marriage of Susan Allibone, sister of Sarah, 
to Dr. Moorhead, a notable man in his profession. He succeeded to

an entailed estate in County Monohan, [reland, and when Manila, the 
only child, was about seven years old, they went to Ireland to 1 
and so unpleasant was the passage to Susan, she never could 
induced to return. Martha Moorhead married William Tyrone Power, 
who was sent during our Civil War by Queen Victoria to watch the 
Canada border. He said it amused him, for "if the Yankees had wanted 
it, the small force of soldiers kept there would have been poor defen 
But the "Yankees" had something else to do just then. On his return 
to England he was knighted by Queen Victoria, which made him Sir 
William, and his wife Lady Power. The title admitted her to a presen- 
tation at court. She died over thirty years ago, leaving two sons and 
three daughters, who still live in Ireland. — E. S. L. 

At Cincinnati he secured his license to practice medicine, 
which he continued till shortly before his death. Starling Med. 
College of Columbus, Ohio, conferred on him the honorary degree 
M. D. He was the first physician west of the Allegheny Moun- 
tains to make use of ether in general practice, as an anesthetic. 
He married Miss Sarah Allibone of Phila., Pa., at Brush Creek 
Furnace, near Chillicothe, Ohio, and they rode on horseback thirty 
miles to Bloomingburgh, ()., where they established the home of 
fifty years existence. 

Father was of medium stature and weight, blue eyes, light 
hair and fair complexion, with a frank, cordial manner, making 
a very attractive personality. He was a true "progressive" as 
they say now-a-days, and I am proud to say "was always on the 
right side of every question". He was an advocate of total ab- 
stinence when it required courage; a strong opponent of slavery, 
when by being one he risked everything he possessed ; and on 
what is now called the "woman question," he was far in advance 
of the times. It is popularly believed that you "can not mix 
religion and politics", but my father and his brothers, were all 
godly men, and carried their religion with them to the polls. He 
was for years a deacon, and later till his death, a ruling elder in 
the Bloomingburgh, Ohio, Presbyterian Church. 

I feel it a duty as well as a pleasure to mention one whose 
life was closely linked with ours. My parents took a little girl 
of six from the orphan asylum in Cincinnati to rear, Eliza 
Bricker. She nursed us all, living with us twenty-four years 
and then married E. G. Paugh, and at this date, 1914, is living 
with her daughter in Chicago, a wonder to all who know her, 
full of interest in life, useful, cheerful, happy and always busy, 
though past eighty-four. — F. S. W.

Stewart White, should be followed as an ending to the record, 
by a brief sketch of her to whom we owe such a large part of 
what we have been able to secure of the family history. 

Born in Bloomingburg, Ohio, the seventh child (and only 
living daughter of Hugh C. and Sarah Allibone Stewart) her 
days were devoted to the tender care of both parents as long as 
life required. She was famed always among her kindred for the 
crown of her character, the tenderness and compassion felt for 
tortured objects, especially those dependent on the care of man- 
kind. She was a "Humane Society" in herself, and no brutal 
teamster or unfeeling urchin could resist her plea for justice, if 
not mercy. She was of a character, steadfast in aim, with a warm 
heart and boundless sympathy, original in her wit and humor, 
generous and loyal. Her brightness and good cheer are of the 
finest quality and never in the darkest hour deserted her. How 
often she quoted : 

"A health unto the happy heart, 
A fig for him who frets ! 
It is not raining rain to me, 
It's raining violets." 

Religious without bigotry or cant, her spirit found quiet 
faith and resignation in all events that came to her in the mi- 
gratory life that befell after her marriage. The fateful burning 
of her home on a Tennessee mountain, took many treasures, much 
of the old family silver willed her father, the old Stewart family 
Bible, worn and aged, with "Hugh Stewart" upon the cover, and 
mementoes of her mother, all went in crimson flame. 

Born in the days of political stir, she had a clear and vivid 
understanding of the needs of the political and social life of our 
nation, and no man ever had a keener mental power of discern- 
ment into the good and ill of our beloved country than she. 

To one who had the pleasure of her society during the months 
of compiling these records, no weariness or discouragement 
stayed her willingness, though a broken arm required courage 
and fortitude to continue the work. 

Her hope, faith and belief in our national progress was 



Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 157 

ever a part of her life, and her prayer for the future of her dear 
country is best told in these words : 

"God give us men ! A time like this demands 
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and willing hands. 
Men whom the lust of office does not kill ; 

Men whom the spoils of office can not buy ; 
Men who possess opinions and a will ; 

Men who have honor; men who will not lie; 
Men who can stand before a demagogue 

And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; 
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog 

In public duty and in private thinking." 

—E. S. L.

These notes and sentiments were taken from "Practical 
Geometry" a book compiled -by George, son of Hugh, in 1803, 
and written throughout with a pen. 

How vain it is for me to boast 
How much my little Bible cost ; 
The Judgment day will make appear 
If it was cheap or very dear.

When you let the secrets of your Friends go out of your 
lips, believe that Friendship, Fidelity, Honor, Honesty, Wisdom, 
and Justice, go out of your soul at the same time, and that the 
difference between you and the brute, is that the brutality of the 
brute consists in his not being able to speak, and yours in not 
being able to hold your tongue. 

Page 2J. 

True friendship is the kindness of two persons grounded on 
virtue, and supported by mutual communication of all comforts 
and benefits. A man may have a thousand intimate acquaint- 
ances, and not a friend among them. Only good and wise men 
can be friends ; others are but companions. Socrates being asked 
who was the wisest man, answered, "He that offends least".

Modesty makes men amiable to their friends and respected 
by their enemies. In all places and on all occasions it attracts 
benevolence and demands approbation. Page 39.

THE GHOST STORY OF RINGGOLD MANOR. 



When Fred returned from his Y. M. C. A. trip to Council 
Bluffs he brought home this story told him by a Miss Wallace 
whom he met there, of the two Manor houses near Hagerstown, 
Maryland, the Westlake and Ringgold Manor. 

The latter is a brown stone house built quite like the houses 
grandfather Robert and his father built in Ohio, only great grand- 
father Hugh's was paneled timbers of two stories and an attic, 
and grandfather's brick, of one story. It was over 120 years 
ago (1893) w hen an English Officer came into the country and 
made his way to Ringgold Manor. Several stories were told. 

One is that this officer disappeared and about four years 
after, a British Privateer appeared in Chesapeake Bay. The 
crew landed and came across the country to Hagerstown, Md. 
When the family in the Manor heard of it they quietly left 
for the time, and the crew, catching about a dozen guiltless 
negroes, strung them up, saying as they did so, that, being in- 
dependent or hired negroes, they felt alt the better for it. After 
that the people of the community got together and said this 
family must buy and own negroes or leave, as it made the negroes 
insubordinate, and they left. Not willing to yield their principles, 
they gave up the struggle. After their leaving, the house was 
searched and in one of the chambers, whether concealed or not 
I do not know, they found an English officer's uniform with 
blood on it ; and now comes the Ghost. 

In this same chamber, through a window, in October even- 
year, is seen a lighted candle that waves around, appears and dis- 
appears, and there seems to be some one or more persons, angry 
altercations, cries and then silence. The light goes out to come 
again next year about the same time. This room goes by the 
name of ''The Officer's Chamber". The queerest thing about 
it, and that probably keeps up the illusion, is the negroes. There 
are two roads leading into the village. One passes Ringgold 
Manor and the other Westlake. The negroes will never pass 

(160) 



Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 161 

Ringgold Manor after sundown, but prefer to walk by Westlake, 
one and a half miles farther, over the Westlake road, than to go 
near it. 

This Miss Wallace is a Westlake descendent, and goes this 
summer on a pilgrimage to the old home. Every summer the 
Wallace family have made pilgrimages to the place, enjoying its 
privileges ; but the other, Ringgold, has never been known to have 
been visited by a single one of the people who so mysteriously 
disappeared. What gives it significance with us, is that the father 
of the Ringgold family, through remorse or something, would 
visit this chamber at night and beat the walls in most mysterious 
fashion for one in his right mind. The idea seems with the peo- 
ple to be that in some altercation, in those Revolutionary times 
nothing unusual, this man and some one disagreed and came to 
blows ; that without being to blame for it, the man whose very 
name seems to have been forgotten, was responsible for the loss 
of the British officer's life, and that it was kept a secret until after 
the family had left the country. 

Even then, people were not disposed to blame, but more to 
pity, the man and family, who by some hasty act, made his whole 
life miserable. Miss Wallace was wild with excitement when 
Fred told her that he was a scion of the household who lived 
there over one hundred and twenty years ago. Because of their 
ancestry, Miss Wallace said the descendants of the family would 
be gladly welcomed. 

The Stewart brothers have a grand history in the early set- 
tling of Ohio, and their united efforts for the liberty of the slave. 
"Don't forget a man's good deeds because he does some bad 
ones", grandfather Robert used to say. "We left Hagerstown on 
account of slavery. The time had come when we were obliged to 
hold slaves or do without. We could do neither, so left." 

It is a fine old place yet, renowned for its fine fruit. A very 
nice old family live there now. It is a solid stone building and 
kept in good repair. The wide baronial hall running through the 
house is used for a dancing hall to this day, but a sad, far-off 
look always came into grandfather Robert's face when the old 
home was spoken of, and he would quit talking. 

The history of Ringgold Manor is, that Gen. Ringgold lived 
in Maryland about the time of the Revolutionary War, but 
being a Tory left then. The family of great grandfather Hugh 



162 Genealogy of Hugh Stewart and Descendants. 

Stewart lived there I know a hundred years ago (1893). The 
family moved to Greencastle, Pa., and later lost themselves in the 
wilds of Ohio, burned their bridges behind them, destroyed the. 
family records, and only one of the race ever went back that I 
know of, and that was Eliza, daughter of George Stuart, son of 
Hugh. 

Another story of Ringgold Manor is that a British Cruiser 
landed off Chesapeake Bay, as slave traders, and crossed the 
country, and the people of Ringgold Manor repelled them with 
the loss of some of the crew. For this they returned and retali- 
ated on the poor negroes. That suits me better and was more 
like the British ; but does not tell why the bloody coat was found, 
pointing to some deed of self defense, it may be. So the ghost 
returns and goes over it all again. I should hate to live in such 
a house. Why did none of the brothers, going over the road 
not more than fifty miles distant, driving cattle to the eastern 
market, never visit the old place? The Turners are the only ones 
who could have known, and the ghost may have appeared after 
they left the place. Ethel says, "Kings are nothing, but a real 
ghost story is something like." 

Note : — Rev. George Stuart went back for his wife, Anne Carr, 
1815. 

Another and a better explanation of the Ghost of Ring- 
gold Manor and the hasty departure from there by Hugh and 
•his family under stress, is that the arms of Chesapeake Bay were 
infested by slave traders at this time, who ran their contraband 
vessels into these hiding places while they sold their stolen 
cargoes of Africans. 

Hugh Stewart's employment of free negroes caused unrest 
and was dangerous to their trade. Thinking to frighten him, a 
group of brutal slave traders, sailor clad, came across the coun- 
try, and laid siege to the Manor, where they were valiantly re- 
pulsed. Sometime after, word came that they were coming again 
and unless the family yielded and became slave owners, they 
would never be allowed to live in peace. Then Hugh gathered his 
family, his cattle and household effects, and leaving, with only a 
broad trail to mark their going, they became "the lost family" 
indeed ; "For," said Robert, our grandfather, bitterly, "we never 
went back again". Sometime after the family left, the house was

searched and a recess gave forth a bloody suit and it was told 
that in a mirror high over a mantel, in October of the year, could 

be seen the old conflict of the sea- faring men and the .Manor 
family, and so, was avoided by the superstitions negroes. —

STORY OF THE OLD CASTLE OX THE HILL AT 
FRANKFORT, OHIO. 



The guest chamber was an immense room extending over 
two rooms below, much longer than broad. Soon after being built 
in 1808 by Hugh Stewart, (1) this room fell into disrepute. A 
bridal couple were the occupants of its spaciousness, and at night 
their bridal finery was placed in the various places designed for 
it. In the morning all the lighter, more movable, bits of 
apparel were gone. The groom had lost his wig and goodly 
stock, as well as his doublet and hose. The bride mourned a 
thread lace collar, a soft neckerchief of linen, and one brave little 
slipper. No searching or guessing then, solved the mystery, 
and a fear of the room became so widespread that*no one 
could be induced to sleep in it, and it became a store-room 
for household supplies. Here it was, that much later, a group 
of grand-children out for a Thanksgiving frolic, found their way 
into the abandoned room, in joyous inspection of the whispered 
terrors of the place. A tierce of lard was discovered and rang- 
ing themselves into opposing factions, a game of snowball en- 
sued, that splattered the walls from ceiling to floor and so 
"larded" the youngsters, all were punished by being put to bed. 

When the property passed from the hands of the family in 
1855, by financial disaster, and the castle was pulled beam from 
beam, in search of treasure said to have been hidden there, behind 
a built-in clothespress, the fragments of the bridal array were 
found, and the mystery was solved. A rat had spent a very busy 
night. So ended this Ghost story. 

The hall of the castle was a huge one, extending from the 
floor to the attic ceiling. Up this ran a wide balustrade, down 
which the later generations enjoyed sliding. The stairway beams 
were big and square and were mortised in and hand rubbed, the 
hall being in exquisite walnut. What regret that such a piece of 
handiwork was vandalized ! The older children remember after 
the castle was abandoned for a cottage in the valley, going there 

(164)

and poking into the crevices and listening to hear the money 
rattle, that current talk believed was concealed there. At any 
sound, however, they would turn and flee in tragic fear of the 
ghosts. Some days when the crowd would be along, they would 
grow bolder, and climb over the beams until they reached the 
very eaves. Once Martha, with more spirit and courage than 
her frail body could promise, climbed into the eaves of the great 
hallway searching for treasure, and put her hand into a wasp's 
nest. Though weeping violently the child kept her hold as she 
made her way down, the wasps stinging her cruelly; but her de- 
termination and grit lasted her to the floor where she crumpled 
in a faint into the arms of the children.

As Fannie Gillespie's intimate friend of many years, I knew 
her well. Her sweet voice which she accompanied with the guitar, 
bright and witty conversation, made her a favorite in all social 
gatherings. A fall when a child, resulted in spinal curvature, from 
which she suffered increasingly through life, but through all her 
sufferings, no one ever heard her utter a complaint. During the 
war, that sweet tender song "Somebody's Darling", as sung by 
her, always brought tears to every eye. — F. S. IV.

IN MEMORY OF SA.Ml'KL LOYEJOY GILLESPIE. 



March 10, 1909, at Los Angeles, California, Samuel Love- 
joy Gillespie passed into rest, lie was born in Fayette County, 
Ohio, and passed his young manhood during the bitter anti- 
slavery agitation of which his father was a part, before the Civil 
War. The name of "Lovejoy" given the new-born son, expressed 
the love, sacrifice and danger he shared in the cause. An elder 
in the church, the Gillespie home knew the family altar, and so 
born and living, like Samuel of old, he eagerly gave himself to tin- 
Master's service. 

His early life built up a strong physique for the hard places 
he was to fill. He went to Salem Academy, Ohio, to prepare 
for college when the war between the States broke in its fury, 
and August 5, 1861, at the age of twenty-three he enlisted as a 
private in Co. A, First Ohio Cavalry. His war experience was 
intense, and often tragic, but he served the full three years of 
his time, and though frequently wounded he was never off duty 
on the firing line. He took part in fifty-one battles and skirmishes, 
and at Gettysburg alone, he was seventeen times face to face with 
the enemy. At the close of his enlistment he returned to Salem 
and finished his preparatory course, and entered the Sophomore 
Class at Washington and Jefferson, College (1866,) from which 
institution he was graduated with honors 1868. His manly bear- 
ing, physical and moral courage, studious habits and ever genial 
smile, won him love and confidence. He entered Princeton hold- 
ing himself ready for service, and just before the close of his last 
term the call came, and he set sail with Dr. and Mrs. Bushnell 
for West Africa. The same ship took the little mission sail- 
boat "The Elfie", and for two years he was assigned the task of 
running this little mission boat up and down the rivers, gathering 
native food and children for the mission school at Gaboon. 
Sailing his small craft up the coast to another station he was 
stranded, and the "Elfie" became a total wreck. Here, on the 
island of Corisco, he took up the work George Paul laid down 
when called to his reward. On the 18th of June 1873 he married 
Miss Martha B. White who had been sent out from Philadelphia 
by our Board of Foreign Missions, for work at Corisco. The ill- 



6 Gillespie Record. 

ness of his wife closed all prospect of continuing the work in 
Africa, and they were obliged to return home, but his two friends 
Dr. Jackson and Rev. Mr. Welch entreated him and his wife to 
. undertake the work at Salt Lake City, under the Home Mission 
Board, among the Mormons in Utah. At Corinne, where was the 
first organized church in Utah, he wrought so mightily and fear- 
lessly that Brigham Young determined upon his destruction, and 
to this end instigated three thousand Bannock and Blackfoot In- 
dians to take the warpath, August, 1875, from Southern Idaho. 
This dastardly plot was defeated by General Sheridan sending 
troops from Fort Douglas to defend this little community. After 
four years in this almost entirely Gentile city, Mr. Gillespie was 
convinced that the time had come for the church of Christ to cease 
acting upon the defensive, and commenced an aggressive warfare 
against Mormonism, and he went to Brigham City, six miles from 
Corinne, named by its ecclesiastical chief, Apostle Lorenzo Snow. 
in honor of the Mormon head, boasting that it should ever remain 
a Morman settlement. Xo entrance seemed possible at first, but 
at length a disaffected Morman sold his property to the Board 
of Home Missions, and in the spring of 1878. Mr. Gillespie moved 
into this hotbed of Mormonism. His coming was the occasion of 
an outbreak of intensely bitter Mormon opposition and persecu- 
tion, being put under the ban of the Mormon Priesthood, and was 
subjected to a series of insults and outrages to force him to give 
up his work. His fences were torn down, out buildings over- 
turned, and his house repeatedly stoned, his property and grounds 
cursed by a Mormon Bishop, and the lives of himself and family 
in constant danger. But God knew his man when he sent Samuel 
Gillespie, for he would not flee. In eighteen years he kept up a 
Christian school, organized a Christian church, swept the original 
name of the town from the map, substituting Box Elder. He 
secured the conviction and imprisonment of Apostle Snow for 
polygamy, and transformed the entire community. His friends 
loved him, and his enemies feared him. After these years of 
hard service he returned East, not to be idle, but still to serve 
his Master. But his heart was in Utah, and a year before his 
death, sending his family on to Los Angeles, he. with a few others 
went from village to village through U^tah preaching in season 
and out of season, in byways and highways, with tears and tender 
entreaties, to lost men and women. In 1908 he joined his family. 



Gillespie Record. < 

but a distressing disease took hold of him, and knowing the end 

was assured, quiet and happy, almost joyous, he made all needed 
preparations for his homegoing; in agony of body, but jubilant in 
spirit, he entered into rest (1909). — Compiled from a sketch 
written by Rev. J. If. Stewart, a classmate, Los Angeles, Cali- 
fornia. 

CROSSING THE BAR. 

"Sunset and evening star. 

And one clear call tor me : 
And may there be no moaning of the bar 
When I put out to sea. 

But such a tide as moving seems asleep, 

Too full for sound or foam, 
When that which drew from out the boundless deep 

Turns again home. 

Twilight and evening bell, 

And after that the dark ! 
And may there be no sadness of farewell, 

When I embark. 

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place 

The flood may bear me far. 
I hope to see my Pilot face to face 

When I have crossed the bar." 

The old Gillespie home visited by Samuel Gillespie in 1871, 
was in the highlands of Scotland. The family belonged to the 
Campbell clan, and they took a prominent part in the history of 
Scotland, and in civil and ecclesiastical agairs. They were Cal- 
vinists, and one helped to frame the "Confession of faith". For 
their belief they were obliged to cross into Ireland at the close 
of the seventeenth century. The brothers who went, settled in 
county Antrim, and later came to America, but no definite date 
can be secured.

LETTER TO ESTHER STEWART HUNT, DES MOINES, 
IOWA, BY SAMUEL LOYEJOY GILLESPIE. 



Box Elder, Utah, June 12, 1893. 

Mrs. Esther Elizabeth Stewart Hunt. 

Dear Cousin : — In regard to any hearsay, knowledge or 
tradition with which I am acquainted in relation to the connection 
in some way to the Stuarts of Scotland, there has been little 
doubt since so many of the names of the Royal line were given 
the family, and I have always heard that the lost or destroyed 
records, proved this beyond question. 

I was glad to receive so interesting a letter from you. I 
heard you were living in Des Moines, Iowa, and tried to call 
and see you a few years ago. when on a visit with Dr. Wishard, 
pastor of the Old Presbyterian Church, now Superintendent of 
Missions in Utah. But I am glad to hear from you at Grinnell. 
and of Fannie S. White. But I could not learn from your letter 
where she is living now. Stuart Taylor and I roomed together 
at Geneseo, N. Y., while attending a normal musical institute 
under Prof. Bradbury in 1859. I have heard from him occa- 
sionally by letter, and also from a Miss Christie of Ft. Wayne, 
who was our mission teacher one year. And also from Dr. 
McNiece, Pastor of the 1st Presbyterian Church, Salt Lake City, 
who was formerly Editor of the leading paper in Ft. Wayne. 
His friendship was very pleasant and I am glad to hear of him 
and his son Frank. It is very interesting to hear of his visiting 
those old family homes at Walden and Bloomingburgh, N. Y., as 
well as the Hagerstown one in Maryland. The old stone home- 
stead of the Stuarts was still standing when I visited there in 
1870, and many of our relatives are still living in that vicinity. 

Bloomingburgh, Ohio, was settled by families from Orange 
County, N. Y., and Uncle Matthew Gillespie bought the naming 
of the town for a gallon of rum. George Stuart's wife of Bloom- 
ingburgh, Ohio, was Jane Gillespie of Bloomingburgh, N. Y. So 
the Stuarts and Gillespies have continued their intermarriages. 
Your grandfather and my father. Joseph Gillespie, exchanged 
sisters at their first marriage, Esther Gillespie and Martha Stuart; 
and married sisters the second time, and their families were

widely connected with the Patterns and Robinsons. When your 
father lived in Ohio, near Frankfort, on the old Stuart home- 
stead, your father's was a great place to visit. I here were 
found the young people from the home of Noah Evans, Wm. 
Ustick, Joseph Gillespie, Robert Robinson and others, the com- 
panions of your parents and my older brothers and sisters. There 
are but few of them now living. My oldest brother, Dr. Jimpsey, 
now J$, is still living at Bloomingburgh, Ohio, with George 
Stuart, and Robert Robinson, Jr., at Washington, Ohio, and a 
few others, but how few ; and all of them like the almond tree 
flourishing in the gray hairs. 

But what a jolly set of young people they were, and so happy 
in their society and connections. Well, how fast we follow on 
and here is another generation coming after us. I have five young 
ladies in my home, who, this evening are having a children's 
entertainment for Children's Day. 

We are kindly situated, all well and much interested in the 
people here and our work. We have a small church and school, 
with several out stations. My sister Elizabeth Ellis lives at 
Corinne, six miles distant. This is a beautiful climate, and charm- 
ing scenery, and the mountains, at this season of the year are 
delightful. 

I well remember you as a little girl coming into your 
father's room one Saturday, P. M.,' when I was reading, and 
seeking a welcoming kiss from her cousin. In regard to the 
Gillespies, you may be pleased to know that on my way to my 
African mission field, I visited the old Gillespie home in Scotland. 
How reverently I took off my hat to those rare old ancestors, such 
strong and resolute men, that even the feared wailing of the 
banshee, which every pedigreed Scotch family possessed, did not 
daunt. 

The George Gillespie, the emigrant of whom you speak, may 
have been our first ancestor ( ?) since he showed his determined 
spirit in "scraps" with the Church as soon as he landed. 

I hope you will succeed in your efforts with cousin Fannie, 
in the family researches. With regards to all your family and 
cousin Fannie, 

Your cousin, 

Samuel L. Gillespie.
